I never saw Sallie in person, of course, only in videos. She seems truly lovely. But I would disagree that the ABT revivals are "empty". I think that Julie Kent was beautiful as Hagar.

Even in this darkness,her emotional force is felt.When Sallie died, she took all of Tudor with her.The recent abt revivals are totally empty.
