Sergey Kortes, who has died aged 82, migrated with his Communist parents in 1955 to the workers’ paradise. They settled in Minsk, where he rose to become head of the National Academic Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theatre and a People’s Artist of Belarus.

Kortes added a shimmy of tango to the austerities of Soviet and Belarus musical life.
