Frank Augustyn, a recent Canadian acquisition to the company, provides a striking contrast to Bauer in his role as Albrecht. While her dramatic style is self-contained and introverted, his is up front and almost modern. Few of his gestures come from the established balletic tradition; they are more everyday expressions that seem somewhat out of place in Giselle's old-fashioned setting.

One of the problems of being an American correspondent in Moscow is that you don't get used enough. You feel uncomfortable. We love to get used, by the top people Khrushchev truly knew how valuable the western press could...
