Performance Schedule at Orange County Center : Dance: The Kirov Ballet and Paul Taylor Company are among highlights of the 1992-93 dance series at the Performing Arts Center.

A Spanish version of “The Three-Cornered Hat,” the return of the Kirov Ballet, the world premiere of a work by Glen Tetley and the Paul Taylor Dance Company will highlight the 1992-93 dance series at the Orange County Performing Arts Center.

The Kirov, which appeared at the center in 1989, will return May 19-24 to dance Leonid Lavrovsky’s choreography for “Romeo and Juliet” as restaged in 1991 by company artistic director Oleg Vinogradov (Lavrovsky worked with Sergei Prokofiev and choreographed the first Kirov production in 1940).

The company will also present a program of shorter works, to be announced, by George Balanchine and Antony Tudor.

Among the Kirov artists confirmed for the engagement, according to Center President Thomas R. Kendrick, are Altynai Asslymuratova, Andris Liepa, Tatiana Terekhova, Yulia Makhalina, Faruk Ruzimatov and Igor Zelensky.

Danced by the Spanish National Ballet to the familiar Falla score, “The Three-Cornered Hat” features choreography by company artistic director Jose Antonio plus costumes and sets reproduced from Pablo Picasso’s original 1919 designs for Sergei Diaghilev. Called the Royal Spanish National Ballet when it danced at the center in 1988, the company will also present works by other Spanish choreographers during its engagement, Oct. 6-11.

The Taylor company--only the second modern dance troupe ever offered on a center series--will be an option for subscription holders. On Nov. 28 and 29, the troupe will dance “Company B” (music by the Andrews Sisters), with different companion works on each program.

American Ballet Theatre will dance the Tetley premiere, a new staging of Fokine’s “The Firebird,” Agnes de Mille’s “The Other” (to premiere in Washington next month) and a new staging of a full-length ballet, to be announced, during its season Jan. 19-24.

As previously announced, the Royal Danish Ballet company will dance Bournonville’s “Napoli,” “La Sylphide,” “Konservatoriet” and the pas de deux from “Flower Festival in Genzano” in various combinations June 9-14.

Subscription tickets go on sale March 15 at prices ranging from $65 to $219. Taylor tickets initially will be available only to subscribers for an additional $13 to $36. Remaining tickets for individual programs will go on sale about six weeks before each engagement.

Kendrick said the center will use $800,000 of last’s year’s $1.1- million surplus to “prepay the subsidy” required for the dance season, to prevent staffers from “having to go up in our fund-raising goals.”
