We only list here those performances and productions which are or have been available commercially; many others are no doubt in private collections. Deleted items can often be found for sale on eBay and other sites.
The definitive collection of Nureyev on film is held by the New York Public Library Dance section, which was given hundreds of hours of footage by the Rudolf Nureyev Foundation and the Rudolf Nureyev Dance Foundation in 1999. The press release announcing the donation gives some idea of the huge range of what's available there.
