This character was replaced in an adaptation by the National Ballet of China with a character who gives Yuan Yuan a red scarf after she asks to become a crane. A stage device called a reika created the illusion of this character gliding across the stage. Antoinetta Dell’Era (-5[1])originated this role, represented by a staccato melody beginning with the sixteenth notes G and E, followed by the eighth notes [read slowly] G, F-sharp, D-sharp, E, which (10[1])evoke “drops of water shooting from a fountain.” Maria Tallchief danced this role in a 1954 Balanchine production that popularized the ballet that features this character. (-5[1])This (-5[1])character calls for a celebration with dancers representing Arabian coffee and Chinese tea, and she dances (10[1])a grand pas (-5[1])de deux with Prince Coqueluche (“kohk-uh-LOOSH”) after the “Waltz of the Flowers.” For 10 points, name this ruler of the Land (10[2])of Sweets whose “Dance” includes a celesta solo in The (10[2]0[1])Nutcracker. ■END■
