One of the most talented dancers of the her generation is calling it a day. French dancer Sylvie Guillem, on many,many best dancer lists, has announced she will officially retire with a final programme at Sadlers Wells next May 26-31, including new works by Akram Khan and Russell Maliphant, and existing pieces by Mats Ek and William Forsythe.
She will travel internationally on a farewell tour post the Sadlers Wells engagement.
She is leaving with a spring in her step; "“I have loved every moment of the last 39 years, and today, I am still loving it in the same way. So why stop? Very simply, because I want to end while I am still happy doing what I do with pride and passion".
Giullem began training at the Paris Ballet in 1977, and was promoted by Nureyev to rank of "Etoile" at the age of 19. She has performed the leading roles in classical repertoire for the Royal Ballet, The American Ballet Theatre, Tokyo Ballet, Mariinsky and La Scala. She has pursued a successful second career in modern dance since 2004.
