Brian Maloney was given a big break to showcase his talent in La Fille Mal Gardee partnering Choe. Unfortunately, he was not good enough for the role of Colas.
I am really thinking of Royal Ballet getting another import to fill in an item in the principal slot. I'm hoping for a Russian coming from Bolshoi or Mariinsky. Personally I wanted Shklyarov. haha.
I was thinking of having the Nureyev version back. But good luck to Carlos. I think it's going to be Acosta and Nunez in the role of Basilio and Kitri, respectively, for this debut; so i think it's going to be fine.
