ABT Fan Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 38 minutes ago, California said: I just watched the live stream of the opening night cast rehearsing Act II for Of Love and Rage, with Ratmansky. Bell was there and to my (untrained) eye did not seem injured or limited in any way. So we'll hope the cast change was triggered by something else. This is the opening night cast: Catherine Hurlin (Callirhoe) Aran Bell (Chaereas) Daniel Camargo (Dionysius) Cory Stearns (Mithridates) Roman Zhurbin (King of Babylon) Katherine Williams (Queen of Babylon) There was a live stream?? (Only for donors or something I guess?) Thanks for letting us know. Maybe Bell has a wedding to go to (or some other random thing that caused this casting shuffle...). Link to comment

I got an email invitation and signed up. They did a live stream of rehearsals for T&V back on May 7. I was hoping to see who was cast as principals, but it was only for the corps.

miliosr Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 15 hours ago, abatt said: Maybe Roman Mejia from across the plaza has some extra time on his hands. Now that would be a Basilio I would show up to even with Seo as Kitri! ABT imported Andrew Veyette back in 2014 to cover for Cory Stearns in Theme & Variations when Stearns went down with an injury. This contributed to the general collapse in company morale around that time. (2014 was the nadir of the guest artist/exchange artist period.) The company needs to solve its problems from within.

abatt Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I think ABT also used Damian Woetzel once for an emergency replacement. I forget which ballet he did. Anyone remember? Link to comment
volcanohunter Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 That was also T&V. https://nypost.com/2000/05/12/with-woetzel-theme-works-like-dream-for-abt/ Link to comment

abatt Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Maybe they took him out of the Don Q full length because he has 3 performances of Love and Rage the following week, so they are trying to protect him from injury. Link to comment

That makes sense. Forster and Royal are the only other two announced for the lead. As a new ballet, they likely don't have a deep bench that could fill in. I thought Ahn was terrific in Don Q at the Kennedy Center, but I couldn't stomach seeing Hee Seo again as Kitri. (I got a ticket instead for the Baryshnikov theater piece that night.)

ABT Fan Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 T&V casting has finally been posted: Shevchenko/Bell: 7/7 and 7/9 (evening Teuscher/Ahn: 7/8 Brandt/Cornejo: 7/9 (matinee) I'm surprised, but pleased, that Shevchenko got 2 shows. I would have expected AD fav Teuscher to get that. https://www.abt.org/performances/master-calendar/ Link to comment
abatt Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Not sure if this has been posted already, but for tomorrow's gala, Daniel Camargo is replacing Cory Stearns as Basilio. (Stearns is still listed for later in the week as Basilio.). Nothing against Stearns, but I am curious to see Camargo. Link to comment
ABT Fan Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 So, Paulina Waski has returned to the company from Boston and will be dancing Flower girls this week: https://www.instagram.com/p/CepUbqxM5uA/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Link to comment

So I assume she is back? We had bought tickets to her Myrtha before Covid but she was replaced 😳 Always loved her dancing and looks like she kept up her physique in Boston. Can't wait to see more of Waski this season and hopefully next!? Thanks for this share and hope she will post more of what is coming up. Link to comment

balletlover08 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I saw this on Instagram story from Sungwoo Han's page. https://www.instagram.com/sungwoohan__/?hl=en Sungwoo Han, Chloe Misseldine and Sunmi Park are all debuting pas de trios in Sawn Lake on 6/30 (Gillian's show I believe) and again on 7/2. If anyone goes please let me know your thoughts on how they do! All three are brilliant dancers, but I have to say Chloe has been a sentimental favorite of mine and I'm happy to see that others are enjoying her also. Link to comment
abatt Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Of the flower girls I saw during the run of Don Q, Misseldine was the only flower girl who left me with such a positive impression that she could accomplish great things in this company in the future. Link to comment
cobweb Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 If anyone sees further official info on the Swan Lake pas de trois casting, please post. I am interested in seeing a Swan Lake, but struggling to find the right casting. Hearing the glowing reports about Jarod Curley on the OLAR thread make me want to see his von Rothbart, but he's dancing on the nights with Murphy and with Boylston - I've seen Gillian Murphy so many times in this role that I'd like to see someone else, but I cannot abide Isabella Boylston. On the other hand, I would like to see Daniel Carmago, who is paired with Boylston. Pas de trois casting might be determinative, wish they would post that. Link to comment

If you are only seeing one Swan Lake, I’d recommend seeing Shevchenko as she is a stunning Odette/Odile. I’m also looking forward to Royal’s debut as Siegfried. FYI - ABT Fan just posted the pas de trois casting for the Shevchenko/Royal performances. Link to comment
