cannot believe Bolle SHOWED up & danced to anything at ABT.Last season I got all his shows cause I like his dancing, well I learned Ballet the hard way, dancers "SICK OUT" often! and they never tell you, never know, till that curtain goes up, out of all the ballets last year, he showed up ONE and that one he SAT IN THE CORNER cause it was Lady of the Camellias& I was in the 4th row right by him.That was the extent of me seeing him BUT I was very happy to see great dancers fill his shoes!..

@pointer1952 The same thing happened to me last year. I saw a ghastly Bayadere with Cory Stearns instead of Bolle. IT was awful. For Swan Lake though I saw Marcello Gomes substitute and he was fantastic. I gather Bolle cancels much more than most because he's double-booked a lot. This year at least I saw in at the MET in Giselle and Lady Of Camelias. I've had enough of that last ballet though. I hope they give it a very long rest.
