Curtain Call for Seo/Hammoudi Romeo and Juliet, June 2012 |
American Ballet Theatre has FINALLY promoted Alex Hammoudi to soloist, and as long-expected, Hee Seo to principal.
Congratulations to both!
Hammoudi's Romeo debut earlier this season was really touching - he'll need to clean up a few of the steps, but his acting far exceeded expectations and was one of the most honest and romantic performances I've seen in a long time. So proud of him!
I'll keep my thoughts on ABT's chronic highway robbery of Stella Abrera (mostly) to myself.
