So will I. Very talented dancer and I wish him well.

Thanks for this RuthE. Any idea when public booking opens?

That's true but it's also a fact that Acosta will have opportunities to dance roles in Bavaria he would be most unlikely to have at ENB. Taming Of The Shrew and Onegin being two.

Come on if you are glad with a company and a director you don't move !   No it is a bad sign.

So if you are a soloist and offered a principal position with a bigger company you turn it down because you like your current artistic director?

No Mellissa I don't think the board will be pleased neither TR.

 

Part of being a good artistic director is the ability to create a nice atmosphere of work, it seems that Kevin O'Hare is better than Tamara Rojo concerning this aspect.

 

(Sorry for my english...)

That statement is completely out of order unless you have some evidence to support it.

I'm delighted to see well-deserved promotions for McWhinney and Brouwers in particular.  

 

Very disappointing that such a high number are leaving; even more so that several have already left but have not been mentioned in the official announcement.  I'm also sad to see Kakareka leave; she's a lovely dancer of whom I'd hoped to see more. 

Couldn't agree more regarding Jeanette Kakareka. In my humble opinion never given the opportunities she deserved.

Delighted to see Tiffany Hedman receive a well deserved promotion

Couldn't agree more Bruce. For me Melissa Chapski and James Stout were outstanding and Ambre Chiarcosso really caught my eye as one to be watched. The only down on the evening was the choice of venue. Cadogan Hall isn't and never will be a suitable venue for dance.

Much deserved. Delighted for him

Congratulations to all and especially pleased for Anna Rose O'Sullivan.

Huge cast but no mention of Anna Tikhomirova. I would have thought she'd be in there? 

Anna is expecting her first child hence her absence Don Q

I'm sure she will

Yes she has. She said on Facebook she will be back home in the USA June 29th

This sort of speculation that has no evidence to support it really gets my back up. Dancers leave a company for any number of reasons and it doesn't imply that they have a problem with Tamara or any other artistic director they may be working for. 

My dream just came true!

Only a personal opinion of course but I felt the balance was fine 

I wouldn't disagree with a word said by MAB and Amelia though seeing Kristina Kretova made my evening. Already looking forward to next year's renewal!

Couldn't have summed it up better SIM. Wonderful evening

Ksenia Ovsyanick is enough to ensure I will be there

I'm more than happy if she's coming back

Anna Rose O'Sullivan I hope!

Konovalova and Kochetkova being there is enough to keep me happy

Congratulations to all the winners and especially delighted for Francesca Hayward.

An exceptional talent who will be greatly missed.

Congratulations to all the nominees.Particularly pleased to see Francesca Hayward,Katja Khaniukova and ENB among them.
