...ballet is a bravura double pas de deux using four of the company's top dancers. The dramatic Brazilian prima ballerina Marcia Haydee is partnered with the ebullient American Richard Cragun. Joyce Cuoco, who was discovered at Radio City Music Hall, dances with Egon Madsen from Denmark. They appear on an empty, side-lit stage in salmon-pink Lycra leotards shining like a second and highly sensual mermaid skin. Hans Werner Henze's Third Symphony, in turn compressed, then explosive, provides the cerebral score...
Initials R.B.M.E. is unfairly titled and pompously annotated, but a joy to watch for all that. The initials stand for the first names of the Stuttgart's four leading principals - Richard Cragun, Birgit Keil, Marcia Haydée and Egon Madsen. In all justice, the title should include an H., for Heinz Clauss, who brilliantly partners Haydée in a soaringly romantic pas de deux...
...There is something basically appealing about a tribute from one artist to another, and the principal role would seem to be tailor-made for the mature genius of Dame Margot, now 52.

Realizing that amour is now beyond her, she sends the youth away and stands alone onstage with her memories as the curtain falls...

Because he recommended no aerial spraying of pesticides, Elmer Madsen of the Bristol, Conn., conservation commission received a box of squirming caterpillars from an angry resident. Someone else called him one night to complain "The noise of the worms eating is keeping me awake." This month three aspirants for political office in Bristol announced that they would run on an ecological backlash ticket. Their theme: Spray pesticides next year...
Celebrated Creation. In some ways the men he has assembled are Stuttgart's strongest asset. Richard Cragun, born in Sacramento, Calif., and trained in Canada, Britain and Denmark, has vast reserves of power, grace and masculinity that make him one of the best dramatic male dancers anywhere. Egon Madsen, a youthful Dane with a baby face, skillfully alternates with Cragun in many dramatic roles: when Cragun is Romeo, Madsen is Mercutio and vice versa. Backing them both up in the rotational order is a German dancer, Heinz Clauss, whose black-clad Eugene Onegin seems as subtly menacing...
