Nehemiah Kish, Artistic director and Principal dancer of the Royal ballet: "I personally believe that it's really important to keep that tradition and especially when you have master works by such transformative artists. I think it should be celebrated at every opportunity and the big classical ballets are really a great opportunity to keep that tradition. I think what Nureyev means to us as an artist is really profound, but also those works will continue to challenge, inspire and elevate companies that continue to perform them."
