In the final preparations of Met season, I am reminded of our winter tour… especially the last stop of Romeo and Juliet in Chicago. With injuries abound, many dancers filled in for others that couldn’t perform. Therefore, leaving me with three Romeos in three days. A feat that I never thought possible, considering it is the hardest male lead in the classical repertoire. Having done that, anything is possible right?
Here you see the red pen correcting, sometimes three times, the casting of one performance. During a season as long as the Met (8 weeks) the “red pen” in an inevitability.
On a lighter note… Just to share some publicity from the posters outside the Civic Opera House in Chicago. Paloma and I in a romantic moment from my debut as Romeo.
