. Today the number of masters in the world that are capable of thinking in choreographic images and that have created their own unique dance language can be counted on one hand. The opportunity work under one such master is a privilege as well as a responsibility: our company will adopt the style, the language and choreographic ideas of this great artist, whose creative endeavors are shaping the future of ballet. I hope Duato’s work in Russia also inspires young Russian choreographers. It’s no secret that we don’t really have any big names in Russia today.” The contract has no expiration date
. The choreographer’s plans include a contemporary dance festival in the spring of 2011, to be produced by Sergei Danilyan. Nacho Duato was born on January 8, 1957, in Valencia
