Upon graduation from Perm Institute of Choreography, Nadezhda Pavlova danced at the Perm Opera and Ballet Theatre if only for one short season.

Some rare photos from the period:

Romeo & Juliet

Third Youth of Marius Petipa

This French-Russian production circa 1965 gives an insightful look into personal and professional life of that genuine magician of motion. A well crafted, if somewhat dated film traces Petipa’s life from the time he arrived to St. Petersburg as a young ambitious dancer to when Petipa was approaching his 70th anniversary. Little did he know that he was about to have his third youth, for that year Marius Ivanovich Petipa met Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Ahead were The Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker and the beloved Swan Lake.
