FLORENCE, ITALY – The 2017 edition of the annual summer dance extravaganza Roberto Bolle and Friends opens in Florence on July 7th before taking to the road with dates in old and new locations up and down the peninsula.
The tour includes dates in the Tuscan regional capital, at Rome’s Baths of Caracalla, the Spoleto Festival, Verona and Sardinia.
The event crowns a successful season for the 42-year-old principal dancer at La Scala and the American Ballet Theatre, which also saw him appear in a prime-time event broadcast by RAI1 last October. This year the cast includes Russia’s Polina Semionova and Daniil Simkin.
Roberto Bolle (born in Casale Monferrato, March 26, 1975) is currently a principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre and a principal dancer étoile at La Scala Theatre Ballet.
Bolle also dances regularly as a guest artist with the world’s leading companies, including The Royal Ballet, the Mariinsky Ballet, the Bolshoi Ballet and the Paris Opera Ballet.
