As to Julie Kent, fliers in Japan with her photo says that ABT will come to Japan with Manon and Ratmansky's Nutcracker in February 2014. And when she came to Tokyo (for Simkin's gala) last November, I witnessed she herself answered to her fans that she will come and perform Manon in that coming Japan tour. So I think she has the will to perform with ABT at least until February 2014.

Hi I'm in Japan.

We Japanese really appreciate that ABT with full company has come to Japan in this tough situation.

Thanks so much!

I've enjoyed every show I saw so far.

As they mentioned,art gives us a lot of energy to heal from the tragedy.

Here's links of the press conference movie.

You don't need to translate...at least each dancer's own words.

Another news is Marcelo Gomes replaced and is replacing Angel Corella in full DonQ on matinee 24th and in closing night gala's Tchaikovsky PDD though Angel appeared and danced in Opening night gala and following special DonQ Act 2.

I saw a post on yesterday(Thu 1 July)'s performance in 'ABT Met 2010 final 2 weeks of casting'.

I have one main question about the casting. Why is Daniil Simkin not dancing Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet? I wondered the same thing last year. I'm going to the Saturday matinee, and I would much prefer to see Simkin as Mercutio than Jared Matthews.

So,I third that. And I'd also love to see him as Romeo.

Danil Simkin was supposed to dance Benno at Saturday's matinee of Swan Lake, but he did not. He was replaced by Jared Matthews.

Colleen Boresta,

Thank you for the reply to my question.

Ummm...That's a shame.

I hope him to focus on making a complete recovery,never be rushed.

Does anyone know if Simkin appeared or not in Saturday' s matinee? He said ankle joint irritated last Monday,so I'm worrying about that.

Millepied - Of course the Simkin moments were very, very entertaining. Will this be a problem in casting? Can anyone else do it? Does his understudy have a slightly different version?

The role is Simkin's but the company has other dancers ready to dance the role. Second cast's Arron Scott's version is different. I only saw the second cast on Friday so can not give details other than what I am told is called an "aerial cartwheel" was replaced by a switch leap.

t

Was the second cast's version in that time only?

Because I'm planning to go to Beijing from Japan & there will be 2times of this program,it's my very concern.

Anyone who know,please tell me about that.

I want to thank everyone for their detailed reviews& sorry for my English.
