Sébastien Thill promoted to soloist in Hamburg

[Estelle]

I've just had a look at the web site of the Hamburg Ballet:

http://www.hamburgballett.de/e/

and was pleased to notice that Sébastien Thill, a former coryphée of the Paris Opera Ballet

(he had danced there between 1991 and 2001) who had joined the Hamburg Ballet in 2001, has been promoted to soloist.

By the way, about another formed POB dancer: I hadn't noticed that before, but Rachel Rufer (former POB coryphée, and former SFB dancer) was promoted in 2002 to "première danseuse" (= principal dancer, there) of the Grands Ballet Canadiens.
