Beethoven and ballet, it was said for a long time, are a bad fit. The choreographers Mauro Bigonzetti and Hans van Manen prove the opposite with their highly individual works set to the music of this acclaimed genius. There are statements which develop a life Olympus of Viennese classical music, Haydn of their own. Such is the case with this sen- and Mozart – rejected appointments at prin- tence by the great choreographer George cely courts in order to be free and subjective Balanchine: “Dance should leave Beethoven in his art.

  • 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.

  • Prima Ballerina
    newsroom Society Jun 9, 2016 Prima ballerina Alicia Amatriain matured into one of the best ballerinas in the world at the John Cranko School and the Stuttgart Ballet, which has been a Porsche partner since 2012. Today, she stands at the pinnacle of her career. The "Prix Benois de la Danse" is the Oscar among prizes for ballet dancers and Alicia Amatriain only recently joined the elite circle of winners. She received the international award in the "Female Dancer" category for her stupendous portrayal of the Devil in Demis Volpi's "The Soldier's Tale" and the role of Blanche DuBois in John Neumeier's "A Streetcar Named Desire". After her appointment as Kammertänzerin (dancer-laureate) by the State of Baden-Württemberg and the German Theatre Award "Der Faust" in the category "Best dance performer", it is the Spaniard's third award this season – an absolute top achievement which makes her a superstar in the ballet scene. "It came as a total surprise to me. I just didn't expect it. I was thrilled to bits," said Alicia enthusiastically. Reid Anderson, Director of the Stuttgart Ballet, congratulated his Principal Female Dancer. "Alicia has worked very hard for many years. Her discipline and dedication to dance have made her into a world-class dancer and into a muse for many choreographers. I couldn't be happier for her!" Ballet was only a hobby for Alicia when she was a child. But it soon became obvious that she was exceptionally talented. She was graceful, incredibly expressive and agile. Her chance came when she turned 14.
