The artistic director of Ohio ballet complains that press coverage of his company helped lead to the company’s current difficulties and cancellation of a spring season. “In his view, the preview stories have discouraged people from buying tickets, and the reviews have been negative and nasty. His complaints are not limited to coverage of the ballet during his seven-year tenure. He also cited criticism of his predecessor, founding artistic director Heinz Poll, and he suggested that ‘nagging reviews’ of Cleveland San Jose Ballet contributed to that company’s demise.”
