To dramatize the international impact of Balanchine's work, artistic director Peter Martins invited some foreign dancers to perform with the company. Bussell was ablaze in the sexy pas de deux from Agon-and brought down the house, the prime spectacle on a spectacular night.

Seems unlikely, but the trade papers are running full-page ads of this sort, bugling almost every movie made this year.
