A photo from open sources Yesterday, in the ninetieth year of life, she died the greatest Russian ballerina Maya Plisetskaya, living for a while death in Germany. The cause of her death was a heart attack.
According to the will she left before death, her body will be cremated, but the dust was brought home and scattered over Russia. Therefore, only the ballerinas will take part in the funeral ceremony close relatives, she will return to Russia purely symbolically.
The staff of the Bolshoi Theater, where the great Plisetskaya worked most of her creative life and created in the ballet so bright images, for example, Odette-Odile in Swan Lake, Mirtu in Giselle, the Autumn Fairy in Cinderella and others, today honored her memory a moment of silence.
Maya Plisetskaya not only danced and created images on the stage, but was also a talented choreographer, and in the eighties even acted as a bright and distinctive artistic Leader in the Spanish National Ballet, as well as in Rome Opera and Ballet Theater. She left the stage at sixty-five years old.
Despite the fact that recently the Russian ballerina has lived and worked abroad, her soul, says husband Rodion Shchedrin, always was with Russia. And therefore, after death, she wished to merge with their country, even through the dust that will be scattered over her beloved homeland.
