He felt he was taking a chance when he put her in Swan Lake in Paris during the company's 1982 engagement because her portrayal was not yet ''precise.'' But the debut was a triumph. She enchanted the Western press, and word of her began to spread. On this year's tour, Asylmuratova mostly danced the role of Nikiya in the Shades sequence of La Bayadere.
