Death of Russian ballet star, 88
mainThe formidable Nikolai Fadeyechev has died in a Moscow hospital.
A member of the first Bolshoi company to visit London in 1956, he was a mainstay of the company for quarter of a century, a maget for balletomanes.
During the Bolshoi’s long visit to Paris in the early seventies, he was Plisetskaya’s regular
partner. Indeed a mainstay of the company.
