One of the first ballets I choreographed for the new Los Angeles Ballet in 1973 when we were first organizing the company. The original leads were, in order of solos, Sara Leland, Bryan Pitts, Allegra Kent, Anthony Blum, John Clifford, and Irene Cosgrove. All save Irene, were guests from the NYC Ballet. In this 1982 outdoor performance at the John Anson Ford Amphitheater in Hollywood, our soloists, in order, are Lesli Wiesner, Damian Woetzel, (16 yrs-old here) Nancy Davis, Christopher Boatwright, Reid Olson, and Ellen Bauer.
