Valery Lantratov has had a distinguished career as a dancer in the companies of
Vladimir Vasiliev, Maya Plitsetskaya and Ekaterina Maximova and international tours
with Rudolf Nureyev. Most recently he has made international headlines for his role
as Czar Nicholas II in a production of the new ballet Rasputin, with Farouk Ruzimatov
of the Marinsky Theater (Kirov). It premiered last year in St. Petersburg, Russia.
A graduate of the Moscow Academic Choreographic College, Lantratov was selected
as a first soloist with the Moscow Stanislavski Ballet.
With the theater he danced principal roles in such ballets as Don Quixote, Copellia
and Romeo and Juliet. He has received accolades in the Russian and international
press for his strong technique, personality and expressiveness.
Lantratov also has appeared as a guest artist with the Bolshoi Ballet and has
participated in many international tours. He has toured as a solo guest artist in such
countries as Japan, Germany, Italy, Greece, France, Portugal, Spain and the United
States.
In 1993, Lantratov began working for the Kremlin Ballet. This same year, he formed
the Russian National Ballet Foundation. The creation of this foundation was
supported by such prominent Russian organizations as the Moscow Actors'
Charitable Foundation under the guidance of Galina Ulanova and the Stanislavsky
and Nemorovich-Danchenko Moscow Musical Theater. The Russian National Ballet
Foundation has toured in Europe, Asia, The Middle East and the United States.
In 1997, Russian president Boris Yeltsin named Valery Lantratov “ People’s Artist of
Russia,” the Russian Federation’s highest artistic honor.
With his Russian National Ballet Foundation, Lantratov is able to realize his goal of
introducing new audiences throughout the world to some of the finest classical
works of Russia. “No matter what might happen between the countries in the world,
dance can deliver peace, compassion and art—eternal values.” The foundation is
currently working on projects with the Natalya Sats Children's Theater in Moscow and
on educational projects in the United States and elsewhere as well as international
performances.
