Jan McNulty Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 News is filtering out that eleven dancers are being cut from the Royal Danish Ballet with four retirements and seven not. This means that about 13% of the dancers have been cut. Of the more senior dancers, Jean-Lucien Massot and Jette Buchwald are retiring. Andrew Bowman and Lesley Culver are amongst those listed as not. I am so shocked about Andrew Bowman. I have very much enjoyed his performances and particularly remember a glorious performance as Des Grieux a couple of years ago (with Caroline Cavallo as Manon). Bellafigural has posted a link to a Danish article on twitter. I used google translate which gave a bizarre interpretation but at least I could get the gist.

Jane S Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 The Royal Opera in Copenhagen also had to cut both headcount and productions, and as a result the director, Keith Warner, has today resigned after less than one year in the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
