I'm probably in minority here but it looks like except for the Seasons and Seven Sonatas , none of his ABT commissions has been very well received to be revive.. Instead of a resident choreographer, ABT would be better off hiring an additional coach of Irina Kolpakova quality. Just my opinion.
NY audience, in general, don’t like these ballets anymore. La Fille , a long Time favorite , does not attract audience. Maybe , with Skylarand Cassie with Danil It will be an attraction.😒again
She is still with the StudioCo on tour until the end of their season. She will be an apprentice with the main company in September.Actually ,the StudioCo dancers have more performances of major roles than a corps de ballet of the main company. A good preparation for the future.
The 2022-23 roster is out.All of last season’s apprentices have been promoted to the Corps de ballet. With the new apprentices,there are more than 90 dancers in the company. The most for a number of years now. Excited for all the talented newcomers. Hoping they make use of them.
In Devon’s IG a few weeks ago, she had coaching sessions with , Isabelle Guerin, one of the great Etoiles of the Nureyev period at POB. If ABT would need an additional classical coach , they don’t have t look far for one.
Maybe, it’s time to give a chance to one of the talented corps men like R Klein or P Frenette. I don’t know if ABT do it but they should always have someone understudy the main roles.
When M Baryshnikov left ABT, I think, h e also did not allow the cup variation to be included in K Mc's staging. Cornejo would have been great doing this variation a few years ago.
Kevin Mc will be leaving ABT in 7 months ? Surely, ABT is looking for a new one now. There has been no official news yet. Any ideas for possible candidates?
