Now, i have to get it.

I was hoping that the TBA would be Stella's Giselle debut but since she is cast as Myrtha the day before,it is unlikely that they will let her dance such an important role after dancing Myrtha.

Will ABT follow the smart move of NYCB ?

What,exactly, is the reason of NYCB and ABT not doing the live screening? Is it too expensive to do so?

Maybe, that will be Ethan's ABT farewell performance?

Thank you for such a detailed report. I will be looking forward for the rest of report.Someone should send you to all major revivals Is La Source in your list?

Can't wait for your reports.

Very sad indeed. I was hoping that ABT would revive La Fille.Mal Gardee this coming season with him staging and coaching the company.May he rest in peace.

Another"defector" is Meaghan Hinkis, a corp member , who has joined the Royal Ballet.

Abatt , you are right. It's from the season preview. Bright Stream is also in next season's list. sorry I was not clear enough of my source.

According to NYT, the season will include Giselle, Apollo, the new Firebird and The Dream. Hmmm..., I Vaseliev as Puck?

When the box office opens and there are no buyers, you can be sure they will release the casting.

Joseph Gorak is one of the winners of the princess grace awards in dance this year according to the Princess Grace Foundation. Congratulations to Joseph and other winners.

ABT website has updated the roster for the new season. Besides the dancers that has left during the last season( Lopez, Wiles and JM Carreno) the following are not in the roster anymore : Meghan Hinkis( going to the Royal Ballet) Mary Mills Thomas, Caroline Duprot and Isaac Stappas. Ethan Stiefel is still in the roster. Will he continue to dance with ABT?

Wasn't he married to T Terechova? May he rest in peace.

Not to mention Charles Askegard, Joaquin DeLuz, Sofiane Sylve, Ib Andersen, Ask La Cour, Nikolaj Hubbe, and oh, yes, Peter Martins!On the other hand, one could enjoy watching the developoment of ABT's home-grown Herman Cornejo, Cory Stearns, Gillian Murphy, Marcelo Gomes, Julie Kent, Paloma Hererra, and others who are clearly moving up the ranks. And David Hallberg...

Paris Opera Ballet has scheduled Natalia-Ivan for La Fille... in July,2012. ABT can still beat POB by presenting the Bolshoi duo in May/June 2012

Yes!! It would even be better if Kevin and Alexei can convince Yuri Burlaka to stage it. His version for the Bolshoi with all the ladies variations is fabulous.

This was originally choreographed when A Ratmansky was with the Royal Danish Ballet before he became Bolshoi Ballet Director.If i recall correctly, it was not very well received either. Anna K. seems an ideal story for a full-lenght ballet. It cries for a different Russian score ... Glazounov/Tchaikovsky ?

In the same article, he praised the dancing of the female corps de ballet and some soloists in Sleeping Beauty saying that their dancing is"finer than the Royal ballet".

[. Looking at the cast lists from before the men are wide open (except Corella and Beloserkovsky did Lensky--though it's a crapshoot whether either of them would be cast again, esp. Beloserkovsky) and Riccetto and Reyes did Olga. It's interesting to think about this one as Anderson gets to choose, so we may be in for some unexpected choices! If i am not mistaken, Marcelo did Onegin for 1 performance the last time around . David would be interesting as Onegin although he is more of a Lensky type. E Tamm /A Hammoudi would be possible Lenskys. Olga? -- Sarah/isabella,h seo ? Any suggestions?

I thought her Rose Adagio was tentative but she was lovely in the Vision scene(esp her solo variation) and the Wedding PDD. I also enjoyed the Bluebird PDD of Yuriko and especially Jared M.

He did very well on the fish dives last Wednesday matinee with X Reyes.

Thanks for clarifying your initial post. Although i'm glad that Onegin is coming back, I'm a bit disappointed that La Fille...is not in the list.

How was she?
