If Blaine Hoven would retire (he’s not cast as much anymore), there would be room in the Soloist ranks for Patrick.

They need to solve the issue of the four weeks they lost at the Met.

And Soloist Blaine Hoven seldom is cast anymore. So that means that Patrick Frenette, Andrei Ischuck (sp) and other Corps. men will be cast in semi soloist roles, at Corps. salary/structure.

Yes. Also agree with you on Andrei.

Happy for the three promotions, which are deserved. Patrick Frenette needed to be promoted as well, in my opinion.

Jake posted their rehearsal on his Instagram. They looked great. And Takumi is just an apprentice! Marvelous, high jumps!

So, hopefully there will finally be promotions announced soon?

Thank you! This answers a lot of questions for me as to their status. ( I am a retired Banker). 😮😞

Is there a way to obtain access to ABT’s Balance Sheet? I know they are a non profit but I think they still have to report financial information.

This is excellent news. I recently saw on Instagram that Irina and Max are rehearsing Corps. de Ballet member Luigi Crispino as Purple Von Rothbart.

Thank you. Three that stood out: Brady Farrar, Takumi Miyake ( his jumps. Wow), and Kyra Coco.

I just watched the ABT Studio perform on You Tube tonight. Really outstanding performances from these young artists. Sascha Radetsky said members of the Studio Company will perform in Nutcracker in December in Orange County.

The name of the Twyla ballet was Deuce Coupe, to Beach Boys music. Yes, she was very good in that.

I agree that Misty won’t be back, imo. She hasn’t danced with ABT since 2019. She has had a baby and is now involved with other projects.

I think they are waiting until contracts are negotiated and signed.

I have tickets for Boylston/Whiteside on December 14th. I chose that date because my entourage and me could only attend on that date. I chose the date before casting was announced. Two of my attendees are first timers for ABT Nutcracker.

I disagree about Patrick Frenette. I thought he looked strong. Especially his cabrioles. And Susan complimented him a few times. And Irina Kopalkova is a treasure. What a wonderful teacher.

Thank you so much.

Where is the casting posted? Thank you.

Jonathan and his wife Emily Hayes started a facial care business and it’s start coincided with Fall Season. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyD-o3jg81n/?igshid=YjVjNjZkNmFjNg==

I live in California and attend ABT performances at Segerstrom in Orange County. The theater has a medical room off the Orchestra section, which includes a wheelchair, resting table, medical supplies and a trained nurse on duty during performances. It is indeed disturbing that the Koch didn’t have that last night.

AGMA ( Union for dancers), sent a letter to ABT management today regarding the dancers working without a contract. It was very stern.

After a whirlwind of a Met season last summer, it’s saddens me to say I will not be performing this Fall Season due to a back injury. I’m on the mend but my body still needs time to heal. In the meantime, I’m looking forward to supporting my colleagues on the fantastic season they have ahead of them and soaking up the inspiration for when I come back. (This is Tyler Maloney’ s post on his FB dates October 4th). This is why he is not dancing Bottom, as he normally would.

Thank you for this article. I have not seen her in any rehearsals on Instagram for Fall performances, which start on October 18th.
