Tapfan Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I had the great good fortune to see the Joffrey's Nutcracker on December 27th. I found the production to be uniformly charming in every aspect, from the orchestra, to sets and costumes to child acrobat/dancers. But the most memorable thing about the production for me, was Fabrice Calmels as the Nutcracker Prince. The man moves his noble, seemingly endless legs with a grace that is not to be believed. He's a strong and attentive partner with the charisma of a rock star. When he's dancing, it's hard to watch anyone else. 'Scuse my fangirling, But I can't help it. I'm in love. Link to comment
Helene Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 If you haven't already listened to it, Mr. Calmels was interviewed by Kimberly Falker for her Balancing Pointe podcast: http://balancing-pointe.com/fabrice-calmels/ Link to comment
LadyCap Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I haven't seen this posted elsewhere, but in case you missed it Fabrice has announced on Instagram that he's leaving Joffrey and heading to LA. It sounds to me from his wording that he's leaving ballet as well? Or am I reading it wrong? Link to comment
sandik Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 As much as I don't want to believe it, this does sound like he's moving into a new field, not just changing locations. Link to comment
ABT Fan Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 It does sound like he’s leaving ballet, but staying in the arts in some capacity. Interesting plug at the end for the AD spot at the Joffrey. Link to comment
