...just finished its first North American tour in 22 years, is full of talent, but the great ovations have gone to Altynai Asylmuratova, 25, an exotic beauty blessed with a perfect line and the more elusive qualities of gentle lyricism and knockout sexual allure. Still to come is Sylvie Guillem, 21, of the Paris Opera Ballet, which arrives next month on its first U.S. visit since 1948. Guillem stands out with a sensational, long- limbed body and a cool, thoroughly modern wit. In alphabetical order, then, to avoid billing squabbles, portrait sketches of the three: ALTYNAI ASYLMURATOVA...
...however, just a nomad. In 1983 he became artistic director of the Paris Opera Ballet for six colorful years. Again his temperament made headlines, but Nureyev gave the company a professionalism it had virtually forgotten and nurtured the careers of young dancers who are now stars, among them Sylvie Guillem, Patrick Dupond, Charles Jude and Elisabeth Platel. As Royal's dancers had learned years before, when it came to teaching, he was direct, intelligent and tireless...
...AMERICAN BALLET THEATER'S PROduction (Romeo and Juliet) was lovely, the music (Prokofiev) splendid, and the principal dancers (Laurent Hilaire and Sylvie Guillem) enchanting.

...most respects is a genial mess. In the famous "white act," the enchanted maidens dance around in what appears to be silvery decor left over from their Christmas party, all tinsel and discarded trees. But the company does have a genuine Swan Queen: the bewitching French ballerina SYLVIE GUILLEM. At 26, she is the reigning star of international ballet, and it is easy to see why. Tall and leggy, she seems to have double-jointed hips -- her ordinary kick is stopped only by her ear. Onstage she seems radiantly alone. This Swan Queen may be the Prince's fantasy...
...foreign press escaped. After banning the French daily Le Figaro on dozens of occasions during the past twelve months, the government barred its correspondent Jacques Guillemé-Brulon after he had attacked Information Minister Manuel Fraga Iribarne, who administers the press law, for "totalitarian" practices. Life has also been hard for the reporters covering student and worker demonstrations. Earlier this year, Aldo Trippini, U.P.I, bureau chief in Spain, was badly beaten by police armed with truncheons at the Uni versity of Madrid. Two U.S. TV reporters-NBC's Al Rosenfeld and ABC's Har ry Debelius-were picked...
