It is reported by Newinform with reference to the press service of the Mikhailovsky Theater.

Farewell to Ephraim takes place on June 23. Ballerina will be buried in the Smolensk cemetery.

“Efremova danced on the stage of the Kirov (Mariinsky) Theater, but a significant part of her teaching career is connected with the Mikhailovsky Theater. As a teacher-tutor, she worked with our leading soloists, including Anastasia Soboleva, Svetlana Bednenko, Irina Kosheleva, ”the theater’s website said in a statement.

As noted in the theater, for artists, the death of Efremova is a huge loss, and for many it is also a personal drama.
