Interviews with Damian Woetzel, who is guesting with Boston Ballet for two performances:
From Theodore Bale in the Boston Herald:
Quote:
It’s deja vu for Boston Ballet’s ‘Nutcracker’ star
....Woetzel returns to Boston tonight and Dec. 21 as a guest artist with Boston Ballet to dance the Sugar Plum Pas de Deux on both nights with ballerina Lorna Feijoo. Known primarily for his long career at New York City Ballet, where he still performs, Woetzel said the opportunity to be back where his professional career began couldn’t please him more.
More from the Herald...and from Sally Cragin in the Boston Globe:
Quote:
Dancer reaches a turning point
....Tonight and Dec. 21, Woetzel, a Boston Ballet School alum, returns to his roots by dancing the role of the Nutcracker Prince in Boston Ballet’s production of “The Nutcracker.” Woetzel has also spent the fall at the Kennedy School. He’s studying for a master’s degree in public administration, one of the rare students accepted to the program without a bachelor’s degree.
