Sergei Polunin will replace David Hallberg in the performances of Alexei Ratmasky’s The Sleeping Beauty at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala.
Polunin will partner Svetlana Zakharova for three performances on 26 September, 2 and 6 October, and will share the stage with Massimo Murru who will dance Carabosse for those performances. It was Polunin who stepped into Hallberg’s shoes for performances of Giselle last May, again at La Scala, when he scored a notable success with the Milanese public as a partner for Natalia Osipova.
While it is sad that the theatre will not be welcoming Hallberg back after his thrilling Swan Lake with Zakharova last year, La Scala have certainly come up trumps engaging once again one of the most exciting and fascinating talents in ballet today.
This is a sad news. I am worried about David’s health. 🙁
I’m so sorry about David!!!!
Che notizia
What a sad news! Is David still recovering from his injury?
As of today, no news about this on Teatro alla Scala website. :-/
I like Sergei very much but I hope whatever ails David goes away as quickly as possicle as he is also so very talented.
Chissà se potremo vederlo ancora alla Scala. Io lo spero vivamente
