Since 2000, Italian ballet star Roberto Bolle has been the artistic director of the Gala, Roberto Bolle and Friends, which has been staged all over Italy and beyond. He finally brings this long-awaited gala to Tokyo.
On this occasion, Roberto Bolle will be joined by another Italian legendary dancer Alessandra Ferri and nine illustrious international star dancers including Silvia Azzoni, Melissa Hamilton, Mizuka Ueno, Marcello Gomes, Alexandre Riabko, Karen Azatyan, Carsten Jung, Alexandr Trusch and Marc Jubete.
In Program A, Ferri and Bolle will dance Marguerite and Armand, the last full ballet created by Frederick Ashton for Margo Fonteyn, a masterpiece that she and Rudolf Nureyev performed frequently around the world.
Program B includes Fratres from Duse by John Neumeier, a ballet created for Alessandra Ferri after her return to the stage in 2013. John Neumeier will come to Tokyo to stage the work together with his dancers.
It will be a showcase of the finest performances by the finest dancers of today. Join us for the balletic euphoria and fantasy.
