Don Q Fan Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Anyone know when ABT Spring Season in New York tickets go on sale for single tickets (after subscriptions I guess) is it 2 months or so before performances? Any info greatly appreciated. Edited March 12, 2014 by Don Q Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 When I enquired I was told mid March - which it almost is now, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Wall Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) http://artsbeat.blog...eater/?ref=arts Olga Smirnova, Victoria Tereshkina and Vladamir Shkylarov are guesting with ABT! As noted in the article single ABT tickets go on sale on 30th March at 5.00 pm GMT. ABT is continuing its exchange programme but, sadly, not with the Royal Ballet. It seems this season it is with the Mariinsky and, as was the case last season, the Royal Danish Ballet. I wonder why the ABT/Royal connection was dropped. I have not read any news of the Royal Ballet continuing their exchange programme with any other company. Does anyone know anything of the latter? Kevin O'Hare spoke keenly of the exchange programme's importance at the time of its establishment I remember.

capybara Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Alina Cojocaru is also listed as a guest and there may well be others as there are some TBAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Wall Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Alina Cojocaru is also listed as a guest and there may well be others as there are some TBAs. Yes. I did not list that as Ms. Cojocaru's participation had been announced with the ABT season long ago. The others itemised are being listed today and thus may not have been known to those who were looking to invest in tickets. I assume they will be filling in several of the TBA categories. Certainly it is clear to see that Smirnova will be dancing the 28th May Bayadere. Edited March 12, 2014 by Meunier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Wall Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Also interesting to see the line up for the Mikhailovsky season at the Koch Theatre in November with both ABT's Mr. Vasiliev and the Royal's N. Osipova in tow. Perhaps this explains why Mr. Vasiliev is only scheduled to dance three performances with ABT and early on in their season (given the exclusion clause). Ref: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/03/12/mikhailovsky-ballet-to-make-american-debut-at-koch-theater/?ref=dance One thing is certain those O/V performances are guaranteed to sell out in NYC.

Bruce Wall Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Just checked the ABT website. It seems that Vadim Muntagirov will also be guesting with ABT in the 2014 season. Ref: http://www.abt.org/insideabt/news_display.asp?News_ID=471 This is clearly not on an exchange basis as those dancers are very carefully - and separately - identified.

John Mallinson Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 He's on the list of Guest Artists rather than Exchange Artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Q Fan Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Thank you everyone for the all the info that is a great help! I had not noticed Smirnova was going to be there (2 days after I plan to leave!) but really I will be happy to see dancers I have not seen before or seen little of - e.g. Veronika Part.
