I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that she said she would try to come back Fall of 2024, not this year and no Nutcracker this December.
-
Just when I thought I’d seen all ballet stories that move me, Jake’s story came up! Lovely story! ❤️
-
I agree. Poor timing.
-
That is my thought.
-
ABT Dancers are posting on Instagram that they and their Union AGMA have been in negotiations for over five months on an expired contract. They request ABT Management to bargain a fair contract. Fall Season begins next week.
-
I am disappointed that neither Jared Curley or Patrick Frenette were chosen to learn Etudes or the Dream and are relegated to regular Corps. work. It must be extremely discouraging to them.
-
I agree with you completely. I am a baseball fan and on a team, they have more than one player who can play any position, for just this reason. I wish I knew the thinking behind this decision. It’s frustrating and disappointing.
-
I agree. There are a number of ABT men who are more than ready to step Into some Principal roles. What are they waiting for?
-
I hope ABT will announce casting for Nutcracker performances at Segerstrom in Orange County, California, soon. I have my tickets already, even though I don’t know casting.
-
I could be wrong, but I seem to recall the “second lead man” was called “the turning boy”, in a production I saw. I saw David Hallberg perform it.
-
I wish ABT would announce promotions after a performance, as Angel Corella does with Philadelphia Ballet. It is thrilling and audience gets to participate.
-
I believe that because it is Susan’s first time announcing promotions since her appointment as Artistic Director, she wants to be precise and perform it in her own way. We just need to be patient.
-
I think just a few are back in the studio. Some of the dancers are still on vacation. I think they are coming back September 12th, based upon other’s posts. I agree they would announce promotions then.
-
I am hoping they will find an additional venue for the three weeks the lost at the Met.
-
ABT comes back from vacation in three weeks, for Fall rehearsals. I think promotions will be announced then.
-
I think this post of Misty is from 2019, the last time she danced Manon. And yes, ABT is on vacation for the next four weeks.
-
I checked on Patrick’s height with a knowledgeable authority. He is six feet tall, not on the shorter side.
-
They danced together in music to Tony Bennett in 2019. I saw them at the ABT Holiday Gala that year. It would be lovely if they danced together again.
-
I have to disagree about Patrick’s height. I am 5’2” and have stood next to him at the Stage Door. He is at least 5’11 or 6’. My late husband was 5’10 and Patrick is taller than him.
-
Ok. I know that tall men are needed. I thought Frenette was taller. So which tall men does ABT have that are ready for promotion?
-
Thank you for this. As for “tall”, I am 5’2, so Patrick, Jonathan, Tyler, et. all seem tall to me ( Lol). So I guess it’s all relative. It depends on what Susan is looking for to fill in the ranks.
-
Additionally, he is tall. handsome and “princely”. He will be able to partner the taller ballerinas. And he has the skills to handle the upcoming repertoire, including Etudes. ( All those difficult double tours and entrechats sixes)!
-
I would also include Patrick Frenette. Very deserving.
-
Unfortunately, I am not there. I saw this on ABT website. ( It’s very hot there).
-
Thomas Forster replacing Herman Cornejo tonight as Albrecht in Giselle at Wolf Trap, with Skylar Brandt. ( Herman was shown rehearsing yesterday. Hope he is ok).
