- Summary
- Unedited footage documenting Rudolf Nureyev's visit to Beijing, at the invitation of the Chinese government, to stage his full-length production of Don Quixote for the Central Ballet of China. He was accompanied by his longtime friend Maude Gosling (also known as Maude Lloyd). At the beginning of this tape, he rehearses the company in the studio, working on Act I excerpts for the characters Espada and Gamache. After ca. 12 min. depicting Nureyev and his party sightseeing (including a visit to the Great Wall of China), Nureyev is seen rehearsing the company onstage. This is followed by an excerpt of Don Quixote, recorded in a run-through onstage in practice clothes, from the coda of the grand pas de deux to the end of Act III. Another recording of this visit, *MGZIDF 3769 (former *MGZIA 4-4071 RNC), begins with scenes of a welcome reception and different rehearsal(s), then duplicates the sightseeing and run-through footage on this tape.
