Supposedly Angel is ill. That could mean anything:
Sick of McKenzie for shutting him out of the season.
Sick of seeing ABT represented this season as Osipova & Others.
Sick of not getting to dance with whom he wants to dance.
And of course, it could also mean the flu, fatigue, a few extra pounds, any of the traditional ballet illnesses, or more likely an illness negotiated by management.
Whatever the reason, we hope that it is resolved so that Angel is not shut out of the new Nutcracker, not shut out of the Washington DC tour, not shut out of the London tour, and above all returned to us for at least one performance each and every week next season at the Met.
This season has been harmed terribly by Corella's absence. It is ABT's admission of sin when it knows it has to plant numerous pictures of Corella throughout the brochures in order to attract ticket buyers while denying Corella a full plate of performances.
Haglund is pissed. Really pissed off good.

Wishing Angel recover soon, and crossing fingers to see him there next season.

Hi Rachel. Thanks for reading Haglund’s Heel.
We’re all keeping our fingers crossed that McKenzie comes to his senses and brings Corella back into the company on a full time basis soon. He is at an age where he should be at the very height of his career and we’re missing a lot of brilliant performances.

Hi Michael.
It seems that a lot of people are really sad that Angel was essentially shut out of the season except for one magnificent Don Q performance. McKenzie must think that ABT’s core audience is dumber than a can of worms if he thinks he can substitute Stearns for Corella as he did this season and no one will notice the downgrade.

Haglund, which performance(s) are you watching this week?

Not entirely sure which performances will be seeing. Most definitely will be there opening night. Haglund is skipping the Saturday matinee in protest of ABT spending so much in the way of resources to train the Bolshoi ballerina instead of its own company dancers – several of whom deserve and would excel in the role of Juliet.

the osipova performance is sold out, actually! in fact, the aborted angel corella performance still has some seats available in orchestra, balcony and family circle. i was going to see the show today with marcelo, julie, and herman as mercutio but i decided not to, since i have a ticket to the angel performance anyway. i might go on wednesday night to see herman and xiaomara. i saw xiaomara do allegro brillante with maxim and she was such a joy to watch.
