From Goeff Edgers in the Boston Globe:

New season, new venue for Ballet

Artistic director Mikko Nissinen said that the Opera House is better suited for some of the contemporary works being programmed. "The size of the Opera House allows a little more intimacy," he said. Nissinen added that the season's programming is designed both to keep the company's repertoire fresh and to save money in the 2008-09 budget, which will remain flat, at $25 million.

Wow, so many dancers I kow personally. I am very happy for Misa. She is a lovely dancer but tiny and it has been hard for her.

I remember Isaac Akiba too. Extremely talented kid and very focused. A bit like Boston's version of Ikolo Griffin.
