Gopal, Ram

Gopal, Ram
▪ 2004

      Indian classical dancer (b. Nov. 20, 1917?, Bangalore, India—d. Oct. 12, 2003, Croyden, Surrey, Eng.), was for a time the toast of Europe for his beauty and grace and for the authenticity of his performances. After mastering kathakali, bharatra natya, and manipuri forms of dance, Gopal successfully toured Asia with the American dancer La Meri in the 1930s and then went to the U.S. and London, where he was also well received. In the 1940s and '50s he was feted throughout the West; a highlight of his career was a 1960 duet with ballerina Alicia Markova in which she danced Radha to his Krishna. He was appointed OBE in 1999.
