The soloist of the Krasnoyarsk state opera and ballet theatre Yury Kudryavtsev became the winner of the award "Soul of Dance".

It is recognized as the best in the nomination "The Rising star", together with him this rank was divided with the ballerina of the Perm state opera and ballet theatre named after P. I. Tchaikovsky Inna Bilash.

The founder of this only in Russia professional ballet prize is the Balet magazine. The award is handed since 1994 to masters of choreography, conductors, composers, artists and teachers. In different years Yury Grigorovich, Maya Plisetskaya, Vladimir Vasilyev and many others became its owners. And from the 2016th organizers decided to expand borders and to pay special attention to people without whom work of the ballet would be impossible – to press secretaries, critics and journalists.

The staff of the Krasnoyarsk state opera and ballet theatre congratulates Yury on this prestigious award! We wish new creative achievements and victories!
