Galateya poster

Released in 1977, Galateya is a music film directed by Aleksandr Belinsky, running about 55 minutes.

What it’s about. The film ballet based on the play by Bernard Shaw "Pygmalion" to the music of Timur Kogan. For the first time, an attempt was made to translate the play into the language of choreography. And although the musical “F. My Fair Lady” was taken as the basis, the choreographer D. Bryantsev and director A. Belinsky offered a completely original interpretation of the famous work - classical ballet dancers act as real dramatic actors.

Who’s in it. Galateya stars Maris Liepa as Professor Henry Higgins, Ekaterina Maksimova, Vadim Gulyaev and Sergey Fedyanin, among others.
