I am so happy to dance in Tokyo these two ballets that are so special for me at this point in my life.
Dancing Marguerite et Armand with Roberto is a dream come true.
Fratres is the most spiritual ballet I have ever danced: an amazing experience.

For many years now, since 2000, I have been the artistic director of the Gala, Roberto Bolle and Friends, a show that has been staged all over Italy and in many places in the world.

I am truly excited to finally bring the Gala to Japan, revisited and made unique by the presence of Alessandra Ferri and many other Friends. Dancing with Alessandra it's an honor and great pleasure, which I hope will thrill all the ballet fans in Japan too. Together with her and the Friends, the world's most sought-after dancers, we hope to create and share a fantastic moment with all you ballet lovers.

With love,
