Helene Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Victoria Morgan will retire as Artistic Director of Cincinnati Ballet at the end of her 25th season, 2021-22: https://www.cincinnati.com/story/entertainment/arts/2021/05/26/cincinnati-ballets-victoria-morgan-announces-retirement/7417287002/ After the 1.5 years we've had, it isn't surprising that there would be changes at the top of companies, especially as many companies are determining how to survive, which isn't the case in Cincinnati, where the company is moving into a new building, and it is financially sound. But she is the third long-term AD to announce over the last year, and in other companies, there are many from the post-Balanchine diaspora alone who have lead their companies for decades, and are all in their late sixties to early '80's. Many have established staffs and ties with donors and sponsors in their communities after many years of work and have provided stability that is so hard to achieve. If I wanted to be in an arts-related business, it would be as the recruiter, because there will be a lot of business in the next five-ten years. Link to comment
