What was it like to work with Rudolf Nureyev?

Rigorous, ambitious and deeply rewarding, the experience of Rudolf Nureyev's Don Quixote shaped careers, challenged artists and created a legacy. As our students work on this iconic production, these reflections connect past experiences with the learning taking place today.
