Vienna replaces its ballet director
OperaMartin Schläpfer, who has headed the Staatsballet for three disappointing years, will leave at the end of his five-year term.
His replacement, a distinct upgrade, is to be the distinguished Italian prima ballerina Alessandra Ferri, it was announced today.
A former star at Covent Garden, ABT and La Scala, Ferri will also take charge of the Vienna State Opera’s ballet academy.
Not much else to cheer about in Vienna.
