In 1991, a troupe of international ballet stars, headed by the brilliant Russian ballerina Nina Ananiashvili, visited Japan, presenting a program which underscored the considerable talents of a new generation of virtuoso dancers. So great was the success of that evening that another such gala was presented in Japan in 1993. The performances on this second volume of Nina Ananiashvili and International Stars are taken from that triumphant return engagement.
