Dance, Roberto Bolle: “A great gift to perform at the Circus Maximus, back to normal”

After the success of the Swan Lake performances, there is great anticipation for Roberto Bolle’s debut at the Circus Maximus. On July 13, the tour of Roberto Bolle and Friends, the gala gala, which every year brings together some of the brightest stars of the world ballet scene, starts from Rome. It will be repeated on Wednesday 14th and Thursday 15th, again at 9 pm. The one with the international étoile Roberto Bolle has been, since 2011, the unmissable appointment of the Roman summers. “After the forced break of last year – declares the superintendent of the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma Carlo Fuortes – finally this summer the magic of a unique event is renewed with an icon of world dance, the exceptional Roberto Bolle, who with his strength and grace generates empathy and a union of sentiment in an increasingly numerous audience. “” Going back to dancing live performing for the first time at the Circus Maximus is a great gift, even if at reduced capacity regimes. It is important, in my opinion, – says Roberto Bolle – at this moment to give strong signals of hope and commitment for a return to normality. We cannot allow ourselves to resign ourselves to a life without art and without live entertainment and too much time has passed. I find that it is the duty of us artists – he adds – to take advantage of every opportunity that is given to us to return to the stage: for the public, for show workers, for ourselves. We cannot afford to get used to a life without art. “The vast stage of the Circus Maximus will be illuminated by the skill of stars such as Maia Makhateli and Young Gyu Choi of the Dutch National Ballet, Skylar Brandt and Daniil Simkin of the American Ballet Theater, Melissa Hamilton of the Royal Ballet of London, Francesco Mura of the Opéra National of Paris, Nicoletta Manni, Timofej Andrijashenko and Nicola Del Freo of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. ballets from the classical repertoire such as Il Corsaro, Swan Lake, Le Talisman and Don Quixote alternate with titles created by Wayne McGregor, Massimiliano Volpini, Gianluca Schiavoni and Jiři Bubeníček. The summer program then continues with Madama Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini from 16 July on August 6, Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem Mass will be on Saturday July 24. La bohème by Giacomo Puccini on stage from July 30 to August 5 All performances will start at 9 pm.
