Where style meets substance
Darcey Bussell is not just the baby diva of London’s Royal Ballet, at twenty-two she is redefining the company’s direction. With her flash technique and long, Balanchinean limbs, she has been labeled England’s American dancer. Kenneth MacMillan has created two leading roles for her. In his Winter
Dreams, one of the works the Royal Ballet is performing at the Metropolitan Opera in New York this month, Bussell is partnered by Irek Mukhamedov, the former Bolshoi dynamo. For nearly a decade, the English press has been hungry for a young, homegrown star. At last it has one.
