She's one of the greatest dramatic ballerinas I've ever seen, and I'm pretty certain there will be people in Toronto who will appreciate her dancing, even if they are surprised.
I hope you have information that ABT did not re-sign the contract with Ratmansky and since the new season he has become an Artist in Residence with NCB. And right after that, a ballerina from his new ballet troupe (NCB) goes to Toronto to dance his ballet. Let me ask you a simple question: why has Sarah never danced in Toronto, as this ballet is (15 years) in repertoire of the National Ballet of Canada ? And why is she going to Toronto to dance RJ right after Ratmansky became a head of the NCB troupe?

Mearns is one of the most celebrated ballerinas in the United States, and she has extensive experience is Ratmansky ballets.
I suppose you mean that Sarah has the experience of dancing Ratmansky's plotless ballet miniatures, lasting 30 minutes each.
I'm talking about the fact that in Sarah's repertoire there is only one big dramatic role in 2-3 act ballets for 20 years of her career. There is a huge difference between one-act plotless ballets and multi-act plot ballets.

It looks completely unnatural when a ballerina from New York (Sarah), who has only one big dramatic role in her 20-year career, replaces a world-famous Canadian ballerina (Svetlana), who has several dozen such roles.
