Ulanova, Galina Sergeevna

Galina Ulanova was born into a family of ballet dancers at the Mariinsky Theater . Father, Sergei Nikolaevich Ulanov , later became a ballet director; mother, Maria Fedorovna Romanova , was a ballet teacher at the drama school.

At the age of 9, Galina was accepted into the Petrograd Drama School (later the choreographic technical school, now the Academy of Russian Ballet named after A. Y. Vaganova ), where her mother Maria Maria Romanova (her daughter studied for the first six years) became her main teachers. then Agrippina Vaganova . She graduated from college in the class of A. Vaganova in 1928 (graduation performance was held on May 16, 1928), after which she was accepted into the ballet troupe of the Leningrad Opera and Ballet Theater (now the Mariinsky Theater ).

Already the first performances on the theater stage attracted the attention of critics. In 1929 she danced her first ballerina party - the role of Odette in P. Tchaikovsky 's Swan Lake . In the years 1930-1940 she performed together with Konstantin Sergeyev , their duet in the history of Russian ballet is considered exemplary.

In the Leningrad Theater. S. Kirov among her best roles were Giselle in the ballet of the same name by A. Adana (1932) and Masha in The Nutcracker by P. Tchaikovsky (1934). The scene of madness of Giselle became the pinnacle of the ballerina’s tragic dance. A major artistic success was the creation of the images of Maria in the “ Bakhchisarai Fountain ” by B. Asafiev (1934, choreographer R. Zakharov ) and Juliet in “ Romeo and Juliet ” by S. Prokofiev (1940, choreographer L. Lavrovsky ).

During the blockade, it was evacuated to Almaty , where it arrived in 1942. She worked in the troupe of the Kazakh Opera and Ballet Theater , where she danced the parts of Maria and Giselle , and also performed in concert performances. In 1943 she was awarded the honorary title " People's Artist of the Kazakh SSR ."

Towards the end of the war, in 1944, she was transferred to work at the Bolshoi Theater . She herself later said: “I would never have moved to Moscow, and so the authorities ordered, almost the Central Committee made a decision on this matter.” She was the leading ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater until 1960. Here she also performed the main roles in the ballet Giselle , Swan Lake , The Fountain of Bakhchisarai (1944), Cinderella (1945), Romeo and Juliet (1947), and the Red Poppy (1949).

After the end of the war, in July 1945, she performed for the first time in Vienna , performing the Cygnus Swan by C. Saint-Saens , Waltz by A. Rubinstein and the Seventh Waltz from Chopeniana (partner V. Preobrazhensky ).

She participated in the first foreign tour of the Bolshoi Theater in 1956 in London . She danced Giselle and Juliet and was a triumphant success, which, according to foreign experts, they have not seen equal since Anna Pavlova . She toured a lot abroad: China, Austria, Italy, France, England, USA, etc.

In 1960 she completed her artistic career. Her last performance was Chopiniana . The ballerina officially ceased her stage activities in 1962.

In 1960-1997, until the end of her life, she worked as a teacher-tutor at the Bolshoi Theater. Her students include such artists as Yekaterina Maksimova , Vladimir Vasilyev (despite the fact that Ulanova was a “female” teacher, the dancer prepared several parties under her leadership), Svetlana Adyrkhayeva , Nina Timofeeva , Lyudmila Semenyaka , Nina Semizorova , Malika Sabirova , Marina Kolpakchi , Irina Prokofieva, Alla Mikhalchenko , Nadezhda Gracheva . She also worked with the soloists of the Paris Opera , the Hamburg Ballet , the Swedish Royal Ballet , the Australian Ballet, and the artists of the ballet troupes of Japan ^[7] .

In 1964 she was the chairman of the jury of the I International Ballet Competition in Varna (Bulgaria), and in 1969 she was the I International Ballet Competition in Moscow .

She died on March 21, 1998 in Moscow in the 89th year of her life and was buried at the Novodevichy Cemetery (station number 5).

Personal life

All the ballet dancer's chosen ones were people of art: concertmaster Isaac Melikovsky, director Yury Zavadsky , actor and director Ivan Bersenev , artist Vadim Ryndin . All of her marriages, except for one - with Yuri Zavadsky, were actual ^[8] . She had no children.

In recent years, she lived together with Komsomolskaya Pravda journalist Tatyana Agafonova, whom she called her “adopted daughter” ^{[9] [10]} .

She didn’t have any hobbies that were incidental to her occupation. But, of course, there were addictions: “Nature is the same for me as music. It is also mysterious, ”said the ballerina. “Earlier in St. Petersburg went horseback riding. On the horses wore blinders , so that nothing distracted them. It was in such “blinds” that I spent almost my whole life. So that nothing prevents her from working, (to think about her profession). The most comfortable state for me is loneliness. I usually don't go to anyone. If they come to me, they start talking about the theater. ” She loved animals.

She was strict with herself. Early in the morning - a full hour of its own exercises, which included ballet steps. And in her declining years her weight remained the same as in the artistic years - 49 kg. She was always elegant, distinguished by her easy graceful gait.

"She is the genius of Russian ballet, his elusive soul, his inspired poetry."

- Sergey Prokofiev ^[14]

““ You, Mozart, are God, and you do not know that yourself. ” My dear, beautiful Galina Sergeyevna, I always want to say this to you. I want you to know that to see you, your art is the highest happiness! ”

- Faina Ranevskaya ^[15]

“Galya, dear, wonderful, goddess! Kisses and hugs you. ”

- Alexey Tolstoy ^[16]

"Dear Galina Sergeyevna! I watched you all the time with a wet face yesterday in Cinderella - the presence of everything truly large next to each other in space affects me so much ... How did you manage to extract the plastic and spiritual continuity from the jerky, conditional and disintegrating ballet art. I was not going to tell you anything that you would not know, you, naturally and deservedly accustomed to stronger epithets and praises and more extensive confessions. My old heart is with you. Yours

- Boris Pasternak . ^[17]

"Dear Galya! You always seem even to me closed, as if listening to something, but nothing, I am sure, does not escape from your attention, from your eyes and soul. Your

- Yuri Zavadsky . ^[18]

“Dear Galina Sergeevna! When you stopped dancing, we stopped going to the ballet. You happen to know about this, remember? And they said only one thing: “in vain!” Today we again go to ballet performances and rejoice in the successes of the Ulanov pupils. This is a rare gift - to manage generously, without leaving secrets, to transfer the accumulated ... But for us you are still a living ideal, which today, incomprehensible, beckons! ”

- Nina Dorliak , Svyatoslav Richter ^[19]

“The art of Ulanova combines the purity of style, the perfection of classical dance with its deep psychological richness. It grows out of sensitive and faithful listening to music and organically reveals the ideological and emotional content of the score, translated into the language of plastic images. In the dance, Ulanova inquisitively seeks and finds the means of the most subtle expressiveness within the specifics of her art, and with all the richness and mobility of her facial expression never resorts to techniques borrowed from the dramatic theater, which would inevitably destroy the integrity of the choreographic image. ”

- Valerian Bogdanov-Berezovsky ^[20]

“The whole appearance of Ulanova on the stage creates the impression of extraordinary fragility, some kind of insecurity, touching feminine weakness. That is why so much has been written and said about elegiac, melancholic, “incorporeal” art of Ulanova. But if you look more closely, as your images develop in this fragile and seemingly so helpless creature, you will feel inflexible strength, heroic tension of the spirit. ”

- Boris Lvov-Anokhin ^[21]

“Dear Galina Sergeevna! No one ever asked how you danced. They asked: “Did you see Ulanova?” When we talk about the little poet over time, we say: “He wrote,” but about Pushkin “He writes.” High art does not pass. You will never be in the past, but always in the present and future. ”

- Irakli Andronikov ^[22]

"Ulanova is huge, it is the soul of art, the poetry itself, the music itself."

- Sergey Eisenstein ^[14]

“I revere before Ulanova the artist and admire Ulanova the woman, charming, refined, elegant. Not always, and not everyone, is able to combine it. You remain so in the heat of work, and after the rehearsals that have exhausted everyone. It’s good that we have Ulanova, it’s good that we have it in the theater. Her presence alone ennobles. You think about you, and the soul warms. ”

- Elena Obraztsova ^[23]

“Even when I studied ballet in America, you were for me the personification of Russian ballet. More than anything else, I was fascinated by the frank and sincere humanity that shone in your eyes. You have never been just a ballet dancer, striking in its virtuosity. It is your unforgettable image of a woman that inspired and directed me to my own creative search. With deep respect and the greatest admiration, I will remember ballerina Ulanova, and in my heart I will always miss you! ”
