A variation for one of these ballet characters ends with four ascending notes with tambourine, a rest [pause], and then three more notes. In the prologue of a ballet, after six of these characters are (-5[1])introduced, another (-5[1])rides in on a (-5[1])chariot and tears off Catala•butte’s hair. In a 1954 New York production, Maria Tallchief performed as one of (15[3])these (15[3]-5[5])characters, who (15[1])dances a (15[1]-5[1])pas de (15[2]-5[2])deux with (-5[1])her (15[1]-5[1])Cavalier after the (-5[1])“Waltz of the (10[5]-5[3])(*) Flowers.” One of these (10[2]-5[1])characters (-5[2])named (10[2]-5[1])“Lilac” feuds with the (10[1])uninvited (10[1])Carabosse, who (10[1])curses Princess (10[2])Aurora. In another ballet, one (-5[1])of these (10[1])characters welcomes Clara to the Land of (10[1])Sweets (10[1])and has a (10[1]-5[1])famous (10[1])solo (10[3])dance (10[1])set (10[1])to (10[2])celesta. For (10[1])10 points, the prima ballerina in The (10[1])Nutcracker dances what type of character named (10[1])“Sugar (10[5])Plum?” (10[17])■END■
