Hi, last year we did this great ballet, MANON. Like always when I´m not on the stage I am with my camera.

I hope you enjoy these pictures, the principal dancers are Marcela Goicoechea, Alessandra Ferri, Luis Ortigoza and Julio Bocca. They were sharing the performances, and also this was the last time Alessandra and Julio danced together.

So… The season has officially finished and we are now touring in California, OH sunny CA!!!

It was a busy, fulfilling season, sprinkled with some pleasant surprises, and not shy of much hard, grueling work.

Some highlights included:

1) Dancing almost my whole season with the incomparable Gillian Murphy. From Romeo, The Dream, Othello, Swan Lake to Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. It was and is always a joy to work with her.

2) Doing Sleeping Beauty with Diana Vishneva. She is in her own right, a truly individual artist, which I can only learn from.

3) Making my debut as Solar in La Bayadere… One of the hardest classical roles for the male and working with Natasha Makarova.

4) Lastly and most importantly… seeing Ferri’s farewell to the stage with ABT. An ABT farewell is like nothing else, and seeing someone like Alex retire is truly unique.

Here are just a few photos to re cap the season…

The Met on the opening. Gearing up for two months of fatigue.

A rare photo before my second performance of The Dream.

A side view of the Met with Avery Fisher straight ahead. I love the geometry of the buildings. Very 60’s..

And lastly, Ferri stands alone on the Met stage, taking her final bows, with the company in the wings.

Went up to Hamburg for a night this week to see a ballet we, in Stuttgart, are very familiar with It was sort of a special ocassion as I believe it was meant to be Alessandra Ferri’s last full lenghth ballet ever. The cast of this gala performance of Neumeier’s ‘’The Lady of the Camellias'’ comprised of dancers from the Paris Opera, Hamburg Ballet and of course Alessandra and Roberto. (Bolle)
