Reinhard

Doug, I am so sorry but I won't be able to see any of the Swan Lakes. I fully agree about Jason Reilly. He has done a huge jump in his development. Last time i saw him was in Romeo and Juliet with Alicia Amatriain. Both did very, very well. However, Jason Reilly is not in the cast for Swan Lake. The cast for Friday 26th. is: Odette/Odile: Alicia Amatriain Prinz Siegfried: Friedemann Vogel I had the chance to attend a public rehearsal for Giselle with Alicia Amatriain and Friedemann Vogel and I must say, it was very impressing. Friedemann Vogel is a very elegant dancer.

As announced in Stuttgart newspapers, Reid Anderson is about to continue his very successful work with Stuttgart Ballet up to 2009. However, contracts are not yet signed. Seen in the online dance magazine "Tanznetz": Alessandra Ferri, the Italian star- ballerina, will guest in Stuttgart in January 2004 as Blanche DuBois in John Neumeiers "Endstation Sehnsucht". Her partner will be Jason Reilly.

Canadian dancer Jason Reilly and Spanish born Ivan Gil Ortega have been promoted to principal dancers. Maria Eichwald from Munich will join the company as a principal dancer in January 2004. Because of injuries, Roland Vogel, principal, had to quit his career as a dancer and will join the famous Academy de Danse Classique Princesse Grace in Monte Carlo as a teacher. Yseult Lendvai is looking forward to have her 2nd baby and will not return on stage. Her husband, Robert Conn, solist, has left the company. Thomas Lempertz, Solist, has left the company and quit his career as a dancer. Reid Anderson could win former Stuttgart dancer Egon Madsen as a guest-teacher. First premiere in Stuttgart (dec. 5th 2003) will be LULU, a new full-lenght ballet, choreographed by resident choreographer Christian Spuck. It is based on music by Shostakovich and Alban Berg. Also very interesting, the 1983 by John Neumeier choreographed work 'Endstation Sehnsucht' (a streetcar named desire) by Tennessee Williams will be in the rep again this season. A successful and healthy season for all dancers.

Vila, thank you for your answer. It actually seems that Robert Tewsley has not performed in Copenhagen at all. I wonder if he has to fight again with injuries. Again, thank you.

I am wondering if Robert Tewsley danced in Copenhagen. He was listed in the cast but no one of the reviewers mentioned him. Has anybody seen dancing him during the resent trip of NYCB to Denmark?
