Interestingly, in the brochure mentioned above, Soloist Elena Bottaro is listed as a Principal dancer. So we can possibly expect a promotion after tonight's performance of John Neumeier's Lady of the Camellias.

J’ai vu Alessandro Frola à la fin de mars dernier en rôle de Puck dans Le Songe d’une nuit d’été lors de la tournée du Ballet de Hambourg à Pékin, c’est un très beau danseur, hélas il va quitter Hambourg bientôt. Et António Casalinho est un danseur principal chez le Bayerisches Staatsballett qui a participé à un gala à Pékin l’année dernière, un danseur dynamique et enthousiaste.
