Original Toronto Star caption: Nureyev awakens Sleeping Beauty, Rudolf Nureyev, 46, returned to the O'Keefe Centre last night as guest star of the National Ballet of Canada's lavish production of Sleeping Beauty that he first mounted in Toronto in 1972. The most magnetic personality in the history of ballet, Nureyev will dance four performances this week, alternately partnering Karen Kain and Yoko Ichino. Sleeping Beauty, initially criticized for its cost, has since helped establish the Toronto company as a major international ensemble. All four productions in which he's featured have been sold out for weeks.
