We think we predicted this some years back. If Sara Mearns was going to get a Juliet, it would probably be Ratmansky's. And yes, it will be so.
On June 16th in Toronto, Sara will dance Juliet opposite Guillaume Côté's Romeo which will mark his retirement of the role at the National Ballet of Canada.
Patience wins.

Wow. Very happy for Ms. Mearns.
Honestly, after the rapport she developed with Nina Ananiashvili in that City Center Great American Ballerina series, I had expected her to receive an invitation to work on Odette in Tbilisi, which I had hoped would allow her to dance Juliet in the original Lavrovsky production. Glad another possibility opened for her.
