This is an exciting era for
@nationaleoperaballet . Led by longtime artistic director
@tedbrandsen , the company tours to New York City this month—the first time in 40 years—bringing its star dancers and showcasing the company’s growth during his tenure.
The tour serves as a testament to Brandsen’s leadership as he prepares to step down next summer after more than two decades. “I am very fortunate to have been able to be in this position for a long time and do this work I absolutely love,” he says. “It’s time to give this privilege over to someone else.”
That someone is
@ernstmeisner , DNB’s associate director of talent development and the artistic director of its junior company. The organization’s board of directors chose Meisner last December after an international selection procedure. Learn more at the link in our bio.
