WALTZES from page 78
Hitler at first asked Lehar to aban-
don Sophie, but he defied the dictator.
Then Hitler relented,.and allowed
Lehar to live with Sophie in Vienna
and Bad Ischl, where they were spared
further persecution.
Lehar and Sophie, both in ill health,
moved after the war to Zurich — where
Lehar had a reunion with Tauber just
before the tenor went to England for his
final performance. Sophie died in Zurich
in 1947. Lehir returned to Bad Ischl,
where he died in 1948 at the age of 78.
Choreographer Hynd, who has pro-
duced eight full-length ballets over 30
years, says The Merry Widow repre-
sents all that was splendid at the
height of the Austro-Hungarian
Empire in the 19th century. Through
ballroom dances and intimate dance
sequences, the themes of romance,
courtship and adultery receive
provocative and witty treatment.
"The music here is the linchpin,"
said Hynd. "Everyone knows Lehar's
waltzes. His music is slightly erotic,
but people can identify with it." ❑
American Ballet Theatre will
present The Merry Widow at the
Detroit Opera House 8 p.m.
Thursday-Saturday and 2 p.m.
Sunday, March 29-April 1. $17-
$75; group discounts available.

the school. Baryshnikov startled the
young dancer by simply telling him he
was "in ABT." Brown achieved soloist
status in 1988.
"I would have liked for my father to
have seen me get into the company
before he died," said Brown, whose
mother, in her 70s, also lives in New
York. "They had been truly great par-
ents and teachers."
Ethan's repertoire includes many fea-
tured roles, such as Rasputin in
