harpergroup Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 FYI - This article in The Grand Rapids Press states that Kowroski "has been sidelined for weeks while recovering from a bout of mononucleosis" - an explanation for her absence here in NYC. But I really wish I had been in Grand Rapids for that performance: she was replaced by Riolama Lorenzo. Here's the link: NY City Ballet's Askegard soldiers on in GR with new partner Link to comment
oberon Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Poor Maria! Mono is devastating, I had it several ago and it just wipes you out. My partner & I, who are big Maria K fans, have been lamenting her absence this season. We feared she had sustained some injury but this story explains why she isn't dancing. She will need lots of rest and then to take it slow on the comeback trail. Poor baby, I wish her the best... Just yesterday I was listening to Beethoven Piano Concerto #1 and remembering her gorgeous performance in Helgi Tomasson's PRISM - a work which very much deserves a revival at NYCB. Link to comment
