according to the theatre, it is because severe back problems prevent him from any effort.

The Managing Director of La Scala, Alexander Pereira, has appointed Fréderic Olivieri, currently head of the theatre’s dance academy, to fill the post until February of next year.

A replacement choreographer for Bigonzetti's new Coppelia will be announced shortly.

No way. Look at the mess caused at Bucharest...

Oh well I am uncertain that the mess was Mr. Kobberg's fault or if it was the new AD's fault. Seems like a lot of "nativism" going on.  If all ballet companies operated that way, Petipa would never have been hired at the Maryinsky, nor Balanchine at Ballet Society / NYCB, etc..

 

If Romania is to be proud of its artists who achieve acclaim abroad then it must also welcome artists from abroad to make art in Romania.

Balanchine founded NYCB and its predecessors so he needed not to be hired by them.
