  1. Yes, just because someone's hired into the corps without their height totally precluding their ever being considered for promotion doesn't mean that height won't end up being one (if not the) reason they are or aren't promoted. Promotions happen in the context of the company at a particular time, including the needs and capacities (e.g. potential partners, repertoire) of the upper ranks at that time.
  2. Oh how I wish I were seeing Gordon's debut with Peck in Ballo della Regina!
  3. The venue rental info on BAM's website includes the following detail:
  4. There was at one time (and may still be) a video on YouTube of Susan Jaffe and Nikolaj Hübbe performing the final movement. ETA: Yes, here it is:

    Just a heads-up for Sarah's many fans and those who miss seeing her dance, that Nutcracker video is one of nearly 20 she's posted to her YouTube in the past few weeks.
  6. I'm not sure what that tells us; the same could be said of literally any location and the fans who live too far away from it to get there easily for a performance. A lot of people can't easily get to Brooklyn for a performance, but a lot of people can't easily get to any given location. The population of Manhattan is ~1.63 million. Queens is ~2.27 million. Brooklyn is ~2.58 million. A lot of people live in Brooklyn, and a lot of others can pretty easily get there. ABT's problem with sustaining their Nutcracker in the NYC area can't really have been about the size or makeup of the proximate-to-BAM population.
  7. Is there any obvious role/casting he should/could have gotten, in what's already been named? He couldn't really take any of Cornejo's current spots, and I don't see any other workable possibilities, given who else needs to dance. It's possible the season design and current roster (both male and female) just made it inevitable that he wouldn't be named cast until the secondary roles get announced.
  8. I too completely agree. Frenette, Gonzalez, etc. may be "ahead of him in line," but they don't have what he has. And it seems he danced more than a typical soloist load in the fall season.
  9. They performed for under 2 weeks at the Koch, and they're doing much of the same rep in China (plus Giselle, which they've performed a lot in the last few years). I think they're probably ready.
  10. What are Bradley's most significant featured roles? I've definitely seen her in small ensemble/demi-soloist-type parts (and have liked her dancing), but don't recall seeing her in featured parts, which I've likely just missed.
  11. Schumacher did dance in 4th movement Symphony in C. Not sure if he was injured at any other point in the season.
  12. Yeah, I'd say just from watching her dance that she's pretty in control. That said, I think she's very good at it. Only occasionally do I wish she'd tone it down a bit. For me, personally, she's pretty effective (especially compared with some others mentioned).
  13. I doubt it's on YouTube, even in an illegally copied version. You might be able to still find the lower-quality version that was previously there. I tried to make sure to download everything NYCB released during covid while it was still available.
