Note
Created to honor Melissa Hayden on the occasion of her retirement. A suite of dances alternating classical and character styles, conceived in the tradition of the late works of Petipa. The ballerina’s variation, deriving from Raymonda [233] is the same as that in Pas de Dix [309]. In the apotheosis the entire cast pays homage to the ballerina.
