...Anthony Dowell, 26. They work together as often as Nureyev and Fonteyn but could hardly be more different in style. For Nureyev's lynxlike power and dramatic presence, Dowell, who greatly resembles the Royal Danish Ballet's Erik Bruhn, substitutes the cool grace and the effortless movement of a danseur noble.

Jack Olive, on the other hand, has the vigorous, obscene Hotrocs well under control, and Dick Boling dominates the show with an effortless and confident portrayal of the sly, slightly grandioase peasant-poet...
