Baryshnikov marked his initi
al choreographic effort with
“The Nutcracker.” Lauded by
critics and public when it
premiered at the Kennedy
Center Opera House in Wash
ington, D.C., and later at a
sold-out, celebrity-packed au
dience at the Metropolitan
Opera House in New York
City, Baryshnikov’s "Nutcra
cker” does not deviate signifi
cantly from the original libret
to based on the famous E.T.A.
Hoffman tale of Tchaikov
sky’s classic score.
However, under Baryshni
kov’s inventive direction, the
traditionally lightearted story
of a small girl’s dreams on
Christmas Eve is transformed
into a more complex theatri
cal experience. The ballet no
netheless retains its universal
appeal. The magical aspects
delight children, while adults
find the work substantially
more dramatic, with signifi
cantly more dance to enjoy.
Joining Baryshnikov in the
role of the toy Nutcracker
turned-Prince and Miss Kirk
land as little Clara, the drea
mer, is Alexander Minz as
Drosselmeyer, the wizard who
conjures up the dream and
eventually dispels it.
Born of Russian parents in
Rija, Latvia, Baryshnikov ini
tially hoped to become a con
cert pianist, but when he was
12, his mother enrolled him
in a local ballet school, where
he learned French and deve
loped a passion for dance. At
18, he was taken into the Kirov
Ballet, where he was accorded
the rare recognition given to
such predecessors as Nikin
sky^^avlov^^nc^^ureyev^
While touring Canada in 1974,
the young star defected. Sub
sequently, he joined the Ame
rican Ballet Theatre, where he
made his debut in “Giselle ”
The New York critics acclai
med Baryshnikov's perfor
mance as “dazzling," “unbe
lievable,” “overwhelming.”
Since then, his successes have
been legendary
Miss Kirkland joined the
American Ballet Theatre in
1974. She has danced principal
roles in such works as "Gisel
le." "La Fille Mai Gardee."
"Coppelia," "La Sylphide.”
the "Don Quixote" pas de
deux. "La Bayadere," and
"The Sleeping Beauty."
