Roberto Bolle and Friends

A night of great dance

For modern-day ballet dancers, a Gala is a precious appointment: to indulge that love of virtuosity, both exhibitionistic and subtly exhilarating, intrinsic to the art of ballet, and to gratify the divine adoration that its stars know how to arouse. For dance neophytes, finding the most beautiful and famous pieces from the 19th and 20th century repertoire brought together, together with the best dancers of the moment, is instead an opportunity to easily approach the universe of ballet in a single evening. When a Gala of stars gathers around Roberto Bolle, the trepidation and fanaticism grows.

His dazzling career, which began at a very young age after graduating from the Scuola di Ballo del Teatro alla Scala and joining the La Scala company, invitations to the most important theatres in the world contested as a guest star, the media courting of magazines and television stations, the presence as a protagonist and testimonial at major international events, make him a unique case of a dancer who manages to bring to the ballet, like no other, large crowds and anxious enthusiasm.

And if a dazzling pléiade of étoiles - which tours Italy and the world with the title, full of terpsichorean memories, Roberto Bolle and Friends - then ballet once again becomes the public's favourite show. Roberto Bolle chooses internationally renowned dancers from the world's best ballet companies for his show. A unique opportunity to admire, in the same soiree and on the same stage, today's most famous ballet stars "challenge" each other amicably, in the name of the art of dance, in an extraordinary comparison of techniques, schools and styles. For a programme that, differently conceived for each theatre and performance, sees an exciting parade of pas de deux and solos, drawn from the repertoire of the best-loved 19th century classics and the most celebrated 20th century titles, take to the stage at a fast and exciting pace.
