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 introduced, another rides in on a chariot and tears off Catala•butte’s hair. In a 1954 New York production, Maria Tallchief performed as one of these characters, who dances a pas de deux with her Cavalier after the “Waltz of the (*) Flowers.” One of these characters named “Lilac” feuds with the uninvited Carabosse, who curses Princess Aurora. In another ballet, one of these characters welcomes Clara to the Land of Sweets and has a famous solo dance set to celesta. For 10 points, the prima ballerina in The Nutcracker dances what type of character named “Sugar Plum?” ■END■
