Haglund was cleaning up his hard drive and came across one of his all time favorite photos by Marty Sohl of Stella Abrera and David Hallberg in Afternoon of a Faun at City Center. No one who was at that performance will ever forget it. We really need to see these two dancers cast in the Manon PdD on June 29th and we need Marty there to capture it. Nothing else would be as perfect - unless, of course, we could turn back time to retrieve Ferri and Bocca.
So true. It could have been the start of a partnership if ABT believed in those. Their Meadow was another tease in that respect.
At first I found your hostility toward Cory Stearns a bit bewildering, but now I agree it will certainly be a shame if ABT rewards Radetsky and Abrera for their decade of growth by keeping them as eternal soloists, while rewarding others who may never develop to that extent. Their work has so much integrity.

"Integrity" - Beki, that's perfect.
