  • The Prima Ballerinas of the Kirov
    Philippe Jordan MD CLINIC 23 23 Elystan St, SW33NT.London. Feb 2017 THE PRIMA BALLERINAS OF THE KIROV Диана Вишнёва DIANA VISHNEVA C A T A L O G U E PHILIPPE JORDAN France 1962 The Wandering Banker, Moscow. To survive in the harsh reality of Moscow, the financier Philippe Jordan spends his evenings drawing Indians, creating ballerinas, and meeting oligarchs. And it helps! Philippe is quite an unconventional banker. During working hours he is deals with derivatives, futures and options, but in his private time he makes paintings on glass, and art from paper. “It seemed to me that there was always some magic at the Ballet: the music played, the notes came alive, the ballerinas flew in the air” Philippe was born in Strasbourg, and his stepfather, Robert Grossmann, not only was the vice- mayor of the town of Strasbourg, but also a long-term associate of Nicolas Sarkozy – “the man who thirty years ago taught the future French president the art of public speaking.” The former president of France also has one of Jordan’s works: a courier delivered it, and after a few days, Philippe received a letter of thanks. Unconventional by nature, again in 2010, Philippe invited his friend in Moscow, the French author Michel Houellebecq, who once compared Philippe’s works to those of Giorgio de Chirico. The story of their friendship is downright amazing. After reading the novel "The Map and the Territory," Jordan was shocked - the book’s main character was so much like him. He, like Jordan, met with Abramovich. And also painted a portrait of Houellebecq.

  • A Talented Boy Called Roberto
    ITALY A talented boy called Roberto Alessandro Gandolfi Vercelli Dance Academy, pupils listen during a lesson. Vercelli is a small town in Italy with a ballet academy that discovered the international star Roberto Bolle The most talented ballet dancers often come from the provinces. And, in the case of Italy, schools (there are more than 20,000) are genuine incubators for talent. They introduce children to music and rhythm, teaching them classical techniques and nudging the best – at the ages of 11 and 12 – towards the most prestigious academies. This is precisely what happened to Roberto Bolle, who went on to become the primo ballerino, or first dancer, at Milan’s La Scala in 1996, at the age of 20. Since then he has had leading roles with the Royal Ballet in London and has been the Principal Dancer with the American Ballet Theatre in New York, in addition to performing with the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow and numerous other companies around the world. He is an international star and a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. And yet the seeds of this glorious career were sown in a small provincial town in Northern Italy in the 1980s when Roberto was still a child. The name of the town is Vercelli and it was here that a young Spanish ballerina, Pilar Sampietro, moved after falling in love with an Italian. She set up a ballet academy where her pupils included Roberto. Sadly, Pilar is no longer with us, having passed away in 2015, but the Vercelli Dance Academy lives on and it continues to produce talented youngsters.

  • Danza: Addio All'étoile Carla Fracci
    Primo piano - Danza: addio all'étoile Carla Fracci Milano - 27 mag 2021 (Prima Pagina News) Aveva 84 anni. E' deceduta a Milano, all'età di 84 anni l'étoile della danza Carla Fracci. Nata nel 1936, studìo alla scuola di ballo del Teatro alla Scala, dove esordì nel 1955, diventandone prima ballerina nel 1958, per poi ottenere il ruolo di étoile.Di umili origini, suo padre Luigi Fracci era alpino sergente maggiore in Russia e sua madre Rocca Santina era operaia alla Innocenti di Milano (bersaglio del Bomber Command britannico), ha una sorella Marisa Fracci, anch'essa ballerina di danza classica, formatasi presso la scuola di ballo del teatro alla Scala di Milano.Con l’inizio della guerra Carla e la sua famiglia sfollarono presso la campagna di Volongo dalla nonna materna Argelide. Lì Carla vive felice circondata dalla natura, in cui si sentiva a suo agio trascorrendo le giornate in campagna e in compagnia dei cugini. Con l’inizio della scuola elementare si trasferisce dalla zia a Ca’ Rigata di Gazoldo degli Ippoliti, per poi fare ritorno a Milano al termine della guerra, dove suo padre divenne impiegato dell’azienda tranviaria come bigliettaio.Spesso i suoi genitori la portavano con loro al Circolo ricreativo dell’azienda di trasporti di suo padre, e fu lì che alcuni amici dei suoi genitori notarono in lei uno spiccato senso del ritmo e li convinsero a farla provare l’audizione al Teatro alla Scala. Supera l’esame perché interessati al “suo bel faccino”, ma i primi anni furono duri perché Carla sentiva nostalgia degli spazi aperti in quell’ambiente rigido a cui fu difficile abituarsi nonostante i continui rimproveri della maestra, che la considerava ricca di doti ma svogliata.

  • Introduction
    Introduction The World Ballet Festival Returns for Summer 2018 From the 14th World Ballet FestivalPhoto: Kiyonori Hasegawa For more than 40 years now, the most talented and renowned dancers have come to Tokyo from around the world to perform in the World Ballet Festival, which will once again be held this summer. When it was first introduced in 1976 under the leadership of Tadatsugu Sasaki, it was very rare for the star ballerinas of different companies or countries to share a stage. Its first edition caused an international sensation by bringing together three legends, Margot Fonteyn from the UK, Maya Plisetskaya from the Soviet Union and Alicia Alonso from Cuba. Since then stars such as Jorge Donn, Patrick Dupond, Sylvie Guillem, Alessandra Ferri, Manuel Legris and Vladimir Malakhov have become regular participants, bringing the audiences to a storm of excitement every time and inspiring them to watch and compare all the dancers perform. The circle of energy created between audiences and artists in this festival produces an atmosphere that motivates dancers to perform to the best of their abilities, and has resulted in many legendary performances. Featuring the world's leading dancers, all from different artistic backgrounds and representing a wide variety of repertoire and styles, the festival also offers an opportunity to observe an overview of today's ballet scene. While there are now many similar festivals, the quality of both artists and audiences at the World Ballet Festival continues to be amongst the highest in the world. Ballet is an art form that unites finely tuned bodies and minds with sophisticated powers of expression, to create a deep and lasting impression on the audience members.
