I'm a huge ABT fan and have been for over 20 years. Jose Manuel Carreno is retiring at the end of the Met season. So sad to see him go. Angel Corella is another favorite of mine, but he's more or less a guest artist with them now.

I love Angel. I was quite lucky to see all of his DQ from the wings last season. He really is only a guest artist now and it's a little heartbreaking....

Offstage - great guy...

I was in the audience the night Angel danced Basilio in Quixote for the first time at the Met. He was new to the company and was a soloist at the time. What a spectacular evening. To this day, I have never heard such cheers from the audience at a ballet as I did that night. It was a truly remarkable experience for me. I was on cloud 9 when I took the subway back to Brooklyn that night.

I also remember seeing Angel hobble down the steps with crutches of the Lincoln Center subway stop in the late 90s when he had a major leg injury.

It's also nice to see that Herman Cornejo is a principal. When I saw him dancing in the corp, I knew he would make his way up the ranks. A very nice guy himself.
