Note I: During the investigation to gather information about the characters’ names in the ballet “Rachmaninov. A Lifelong Symphony”, unfortunately, no conclusive results have been found. Despite efforts and multiple inquiries, specific details about the persons portrayed in this production have not been obtained. It is logical to assume that the main characters are “Natalia Satina” (his wife), “Dana Dahl” (his inspiring muse), and Sergey himself.
