...year ago, only a clairvoyant could have predicted that Ballet Dancers Rudolf Nureyev and Mikhail Baryshnikov would be this season's top box office draws in Manhattan. Yet tickets are scarce as unicorns at Manhattan's City Center for American Ballet Theater's 35th anniversary festivities featuring Baryshnikov, the Leningrad Kirov Ballet's latest runaway genius, whose ability to leap and hang serenely in air drives audiences to frenzy. A few blocks south, teenagers, housewives and businessmen -many of whom have never seen ballet before-pour through the doors of Broadway's Uris Theater, where...
...heard of Brecht, which surprised me a little even though concentrating on Western art was obviously unfair--few Chinese playwrights are well known in the United States. But none of us had enough background in Chinese art to ask intelligent questions. The dancers said they'd never heard of Nureyev. One actor said he'd read some Shakespeare and found it similar, in some ways, to traditional Chinese drama, but "far removed" from present-day China.

Some 200 music lovers paid up to $4,500 to glide around the Mediterranean to the personal accompaniment of the likes of Cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, Violinist Alexander Schneider, Flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal and Dancer Rudi Nureyev. Each day the geniuses would entertain the guests. Rostropovich, who left Russia on a two-year visa last May, was the star both on and off stage. He hammed it up on the ship's piano clad in a bathrobe, and when the ship arrived in Istanbul, he went ashore...
...Last week, however, WCBS-TV gambled that its New York audience was ready for social satire. It let loose Jackie Onassis' younger sister as a probing interviewer. Recently Lee taped for CBS-owned stations Interviews with John Kenneth Galbraith, Gloria Steinem, Halston, Robert Coles, Peter Benchley and Rudolf Nureyev. If successful, they could earn Lee her own talk show. For 2½ minutes on the evening news last week Lee, dressed with unrelenting chic and speaking in a throaty mid-Atlantic drawl, questioned Rudi about his life and work. The concept, explained a CBS spokesman, was to cover...
