Original Toronto Star caption: Karen Kain and Frank Augustyn last night headlined the opening of the National Ballet's fifth season in the Forum at Ontario Place. Star dance critic William Littler says the Forum is a less than ideal setting for ballet. But strangely enough; the same communal sense of participation cannot be felt at the O'Keefe Centre.
