It is with regret that we announce that Principal Dancer of the Stuttgart Ballet Anna Osadcenko has had to withdraw from the Company's tour to Japan due to illness.  

For Onegin performance on Sunday 3 November, she will be replaced by Elisa Badenes in the role of Tatiana.

For Lady of the Camellias, to offer the finest way to deliver the best performances for Japanese audiences in this situation, Artistic Director Tamas Detrich has decided to change the casting of the two principal roles, Marguerite Gautier and Armand Duval, on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 November: Rocio Aleman and Martí Paixà will now perform on Saturday 9, and Elisa Badenes and Friedemann Vogel will perform again on Sunday 10 November. Principal Dancer David Moore will dance as Gaston Rieux instead of Armand on Saturday 9. Please see below for the detailed casting. 

We apologize to our valued audiences who have been anticipating the appearance of Anna Osadcenko and the original casting, but appreciate everyone's kind understanding for the unavoidable situation. At the same time, we hope you will enjoy the exuberant performances with the new casting led by Artistic Director Tamas Detrich, who has sent the following statement to the audiences in Japan.
