...suckers sitting in the audience can lessen the pain somewhat by singing along with "You're the Top." "Lot's Misbehave" and other Porter masterpieces. The plot is a typical romantic quadrangle between Shepherd, 'Reynolds, Kahn and a stereotyped greasy Italian gambler played by Diullio del Prete. They cavort between two hotel rooms, one mansion, several parks, two formal dances, one race course, a plethora of white Rolls Royces and the Lord and Taylor Ladies Room. Eventually everyone ends up with the right mate and lives happily ever after. The genre is basically Fred Astaire Ginger Rogers, with...
...mood. In the Royal's English version, choreographed by Sir Frederick Ashton, it is like an animated John Constable landscape. The story tells of the romance between young Farmer Colas (Nureyev) and Lise (Merle Park), daughter of the ambitious widow Simone.

Plotless but pretty, the work does show off the almost Bolshoi-like muscularity of the Stuttgart's unusually strong male corps and the gamine pertness of lithe Birgit Keil...
...Dancers cavort before a student film crew while near by a gallery displays subtle canvas-on-canvas paintings. Elsewhere young men and women read their latest poetry and a symphony orchestra rehearses a new work, Metamorphoses. The title is appropriate, for the setting is not some artsy experimental college but the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where students traditionally have been more at home with scientific pursuits like laser technology, cancer research and hydroacoustics...
