I just read that there’s going to be a show about Rudolf Nureyev on WMHT on Wednesday night. It sounds like there’s going to be some footage from when he was a very young dancer – before he defected. I’m going to watch it and hope that you’re able to catch it also.Here’s some info from WMHT’s site:
