SwissBalletFan Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 5 hours ago, Sophoife said: I think both Miss Guérineau and Mr Bittencourt only took a one-year sabbatical from POB. Certainly she has a young child and a husband who stayed in Paris. I can tell you that that this was not the agreement at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophoife Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Here Miss Guérineau implies it's a one-season project, and here the interview repeats several times that it's a one-season sabbatical. Here Mr Bittencourt says he is joining Ballett Zürich for the season 18/19. As far as I am aware, POB dancers can take one year at a time as a sabbatical (cf. Mathilde Froustey), and can extend that year by year if mutually agreed, which means that external contracts would of course be for no longer than a year in the first instance. I suggest we conclude this discussion as it's really not all that relevant to the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Wall Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Thanks so. That does sound tempting. I would love to see Vogel tackle this ... and certainly Badenes as Vestera ... much as I would love to see Alu do Rudolf when POB do it next season. Thanks so - as ever - Angela FOR ALL you do on our behalf in terms of the German ballet theatres. Your work and insight is HUGELY appreciated. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From her Instagram - a reply to a question I asked her - Australian demi-soloist Jessica Fyfe will be another Kronprinzessin Stefanie, with David Moore as Kronprinz Rudolf. She posted that her probekleid was shredded already 😂 so I asked which role(s) she was learning. Prinzessin Valerie is the other - possibly in that Vogel/Badenes cast.

Angela Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Three principal dancers are leaving Hamburg Ballet after this season: Carsten Jung, Carolina Agüero and Karen Azatyan. Hamburg Ballet gives no information about their further careers - Jung and Agüero are both over 40, so I think they end their careers, but Azatyan is in his 30s, he might well continue to dance elsewhere. It will be interesting how John Neumeier will fill their places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
