Half-Jewish, she had an exceptional, dark-eyed beauty and was nicknamed the Black Pearl. Her technical ease allowed her to balance like a statue. (from obituary, The Independent)
"Born Inna Izraelyeva in Moscow in 1923, she studied at the Bolshoi Ballet School, graduated in 1941. This coincided with Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union and she was evacuated to Perm, where the Maryinsky Ballet had also been sent. Her flawless technique, allied to a sensitive reticence, fitted the Maryinsky's elegant purity and they invited her to join.
Mark Reizen is the old gypsy. One of the greatest singers of the 20th c, he was a famous Boris Godunov. A Jewish singer from Ukraine, he was Stalin's favorite singer.
The beautiful young gypsy is Inna Zubkovskaya, who studied at the Bolshoi, but danced at the Kirov. She must have been lip-synching to someone else's singing.
