In 1963, Rudolf Nureyev danced “Swan Lake” with the Royal Ballet in Nicholas Sergueyev’s production (the former stage manager at the Maryinsky Theatre who fled from Russia with all Petipa’s notations), revised by Ninette de Valois, with the help of Frederick Ashton for the Neapolitan Dance. Nureyev didn’t hesitate to add a solo he had composed for the Prince in the 1st act, then another in Lev Ivanov’s sacrosanct act II. All of a sudden, he had given the male dancer a major role and had created a character with his own identity, rather than just a boring, colourless partner whose only function was to carry the principal dancer during the adagios. Thanks to Nureyev, the male dancer became the equal of the female in classical ballet. He danced this production with Margot Fonteyn in November 1963 at the Champs Elysées Theatre in Paris.
