And just like that… La Bohème has come to a close 💜🦋

So grateful for every moment of this beautiful production with BalletMet and the Columbus Symphony. Getting to be part of such a moving and heartfelt story alongside this incredible cast was truly special. Endless gratitude to our artistic staff for their coaching, guidance, and care throughout this process, and to Leiland for capturing these moments so beautifully ✨ taken in Jo Ann Davidson Theatre at the Riffe Center by @sumiumi3

Get to know our #25ToWatchLive artists! Next up: @sumiumi3 ✨

“Sumi Ichikawa’s debut as the Lilac Fairy in Edwaard Liang’s ‘Sleeping Beauty’ was a revelation,” writes @stevesucato. “Previously, the @balletmet company member had predominantly performed corps de ballet roles, but her ear-kissing extensions, long-lasting balances, and elegant quality of line were complemented by a newfound confidence. This fall, her performance as the defiant yet vulnerable Rebel Captive in artistic director Remi Wörtmeyer’s ‘Rite of Spring’ solidified her status as an artist on the cusp of company stardom.”

Catch Ichikawa in action at 25 To Watch Live in New York City! (Monday, April 27, at 7 pm in Harlem at The Apollo Stages at The Victoria) Tickets ON SALE NOW at the link in our bio! 🧡
