Reece Clarke, Principal Dancer of The Royal Ballet, will join the American Ballet Theatre (ABT) as a Guest Artist for the 2024 Fall Season at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in New York, ABT said on 25 September, 2024.
Clarke will debut with ABT for the evening show of October 26, 2024, performing Solor in The Kingdom of the Shades of La Bayadere as a part of the Signature Works programme. ABT Principal Dancer Christine Shevchenko will perform Nikiya.
The announcement follows Isaac Hernández’s move to join ABT. He will perform Solor for the matinee show on the same day. So, if you are lucky enough to be in Big Apple on that day, you can see the current Royal Ballet Principal and ex-Principal of the English National Ballet in one day! London connection!
