Ambonnay Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hallberg's bio in the program for the Nantucket Atheneum Dance Festival includes the following info: "Other guest artist appearances include ... , beginning in September 2010, Principal Guest Artist with the Australian Ballet." It's not clear whether the use of the words "beginning in" signals that Hallberg may be periodically guesting there (??), or whether that is just when Hallberg guests for a single set of performances.

mussel Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 AB's site doesn't mention Hallberg being guest artist, and has no casting info for its September month long run of Nutcracker in Melbourne. I assume he's going to do the Cavaliar in Melbourne. Link to comment
Ambonnay Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 As mussel guessed, Hallberg is performing in certain Melbourne Nutcrackers -- 3 performances: http://australia.broadwayworld.com/article/Australian_Ballet_Presents_The_Nutcracker_Featuring_David_Hallberg_20100816 Link to comment
Ambonnay Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hallberg seems to be in pink for at least one portion of the Australian Nutcracker: http://yfrog.com/0f2xjij Australian coverage on Hallberg: http://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/dance/new-york-star-on-a-high-with-australian-ballet-20100904-14vdt.html "Fellow ABT principal Ethan Stiefel (of dance film Centre Stage fame) was a guest artist with the Australian Ballet in 2007. Artistic director David McAllister says that as Stiefel and Hallberg have the same agent, he was able to establish a relationship with Hallberg and lure him to Melbourne." Link to comment

Interesting about the agents, I assumed they just went through ABT. It seems a long way to go just to do a Nut, but I guess it is "refreshing" and a learning experience for him and them. What did Ethan dance there? BTW: Fellow ABT colleague Angel Corella also guested with Australia Ballet ('04? or earlier?, I think to do Cranko's R&J.) Angel won the Benois in 2000. Has Marcelo Gomes guested with AB yet? Link to comment
