rkoretzky Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Has anyone seen Alex in anything since he left NYCB for Boston? I was struck by the fact that he wasn't mentioned in the review of the BB Balanchine program. I miss him. Link to comment
4Ts Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I saw him as Lensky in Eugene Onegin in the Fall. He did a beautiful job both dancing and acting. I thought at the time, "What a find!" But I haven't seen him much since then. He wasn't in La Fille Mal Gardee at all as far as I can tell. Link to comment
rkoretzky Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 Yes indeed, 4Ts, Alex is a find. I watched him for years in NY and Saratoga and I think he just got tired of being under-used. If you ever have a chance to meet him, you won't find a nicer guy too. Link to comment
monkeedance Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Alex was unfortunately out with a foot injury for the majority of the season. He performed (beautifully) in Boston Ballet Dancers off-shoot, contemparary, evening of works--RawDance. Just recently, Alex resigned to move on...a loss. Link to comment
bellepoele5 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I'm usually a NYCB watcher and don't really remember if I ever saw him dance much with the company. I think I may have seen him once or twice in Midsummer or 4 Tempraments or Agon but I happened to see him at Boston in the Nutcraker, when I was there for the New Year. He did well, it's sad to hear that he's moved on again. I'm sorry Boston for your loss. Link to comment
Nanatchka Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Alexander Ritter is a wonderful dancer. At NYCB, he danced Merce Cunningham's role in Points In Space, to fine effect, so it was interesting to see that he was working with a modern company in Boston. I always wished that he would join Merce's company--he had the ability to change direction rapidly in space, and a fine use of the head that looked marvelous in the work. Link to comment
