[California]

The Bavarian State Ballet has announced their 2018-19 season:

Osipova and Polunin were guests for them, but it's not clear if that will continue next year. 

Matthew Golding, who mysteriously disappeared from the Royal Ballet roster, and Vladimir Shklyarov also do some guesting.

One thing they do that I wish other European countries would do: a Ballet Festival week in April when they do no fewer than nine different ballets! Perfect for tourists trying to see as much as possible.

As far as I know he had some health issues and was off for some months, and afterwards left the RB at the end of last season. He is guesting : danced Solor vs Natalya Matsak in Kiev on 17th February. I was planning to go but stopped short of buying a ticket when the website did not seem secure - had MasterPass logo but still asked for CC details !

It's a change from companies that do their festivals in the summer -- I think it might be a help.

Munich has done its "Ballet Week" in April for years. Hamburg also does "Ballet Days" usually end of June, beginning of July.

I saw that Jewels opened this edition of the ballet festival, with guest stars. Anybody saw it? The website gave a 24 hour window to see it for free but I missed it.
