mussel Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Effective for the 18/19 season. He will continue to dance with ABT presumably at a reduced capacity. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/08/arts/dance/daniil-simkin-joins-staatsballett-berlin.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fdance&action=click&contentCollection=dance®ion=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=3&pgtype=sectionfront&_r=0 Link to comment
ABT Fan Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Wow. Well, he grew up in Germany and I think his folks still live there, so in addition to performing works that ABT doesn't do perhaps that influenced his decision. I imagine he'll just do the Met season and not the fall or any touring. Link to comment
vipa Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 He has always seemed interested in experimental works. I wish him well. Link to comment
sandik Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Good luck to him -- dancing lives are short, and I'm glad that he's able to pursue work that interests him. Link to comment
