Legendary Russian choreographer Yuri Grigorovich has died at the age of 98. The former Bolshoi Ballet director was hailed as a transformative force in Soviet and Russian ballet.
Grigorovich, who led the Bolshoi Ballet from 1964 to 1995, revolutionized male roles in classical ballet with powerful, character-driven productions like Spartacus, Ivan the Terrible, and Romeo and Juliet. His choreographic style emphasized strength, heroism, and emotional depth—challenging traditional norms and elevating the male dancer’s role.
During his tenure, the Bolshoi toured internationally and became a global cultural symbol, but his 1995 resignation amid disputes over contracts led to the first dancers' strike in the theatre’s 200-year history. He received top Soviet and Russian honors, including People’s Artist of the USSR and Hero of Socialist Labour.
The Bolshoi Theatre called him “a legendary figure” whose legacy will continue to inspire generations of dancers and choreographers worldwide.
