It seems possible Ferri will be guest with Bolle for two special performances
of Dame aux Camelias during Ballet Days 2007. In Japan she and Bolle will dance
three pieces: two different 'Romeo and Juliet', macMillan's and Amedeo Amodio's
versions and Giselle p/d.
Have been yet the other dancers of this Gala event announced? I cannot read
Japanese, but I'm curious to hear who will be there. Thanks!

Thank you for your report and photos of Dame at Scala. Though I missed to see
Massimo Murru this time, I really enjoy your information.
Ferri's three gala performances with Bolle will be scheduled on 2,3 and 6,
August. Dancers from ABT, Hunburg Ballet and Stuttgart Ballet will be
announced.

Thank you for your posting, Silvia!
I can imagine how fascinating Ferri performed. After Marcia Haydee and Monique
Ludiere, she is only an actress-dancer, I wish I could see her performances in
a full version.
By the way Ferri and her friends will perform her farewel gala concert in Tokyo
in August.

just few words to tell about the great and moving debut of Alessandra Ferri as
Marguerite, her last role- she has announced she's going to leave the stage at
the end of summer. At la Scala she gave an outstanding play of the role, in a
crescendo that arrived to the paramount in the black pas de deux. Her partner
is Roberto Bolle, a young and impulsive Armand. I think that maybe the Hamburg
friends 'll be able to see Ferri's Marguerite during Ballet Days...

thank you for the confirmation. I really do not know how to see this choice but
I can imagine a dancer wants to enlarge his experience and in Dresden now there
is a lot of enthusiasm (let'hope it lasts!)I think he wants also to have more
place as dancemaker. Anyway I hope Otto will remain in Hamburg. Indeed I find
him sometime more interesting than his brother indeed, and maybe he can take
larger and larger place in the company. Considering the male principals, as
Lloyd and Ivan are getting older for some special roles and Thiago is too young
and he has to mature indeed, Carsten is good for some but I am not so sure in
classics he can work as a real principal, the true complete stars remain Sacha
and Otto. Or are news of some new arrival or promotion? s

You can read about it on the following site:

And I have to correct my posting.
Thiago was promoted as a principal, but Stefano will be a soloist in the next

very glad to hear news about these dancers' progress. Above all for Stefano I
have knowing for years, since his stay with the glorious Balletto di Toscana. I
heard JN was very happy about Stefano's work in the company therefore here it
is at last the right award for his job. In the while does someone know if Jiri
Bubenicek will stay in the company next year? I received Dresden Ballet
2006/2007 brochure and Jiri appears there as first soloist.
Ciao to Sachkom and everybody of the HBfan club!

Gromit, Sheva, Maddie thank you a lot for your kind words. It was a pleasure to
report for you. About Massimo Murru and his new collaboration with HB it seems
possible (and I'm crossing the fingers indeed) he can dance again with the
company very soon and soon too he can dance an other important role by JN. I'll
let you know when everything will be definited

This is my first posting here. I enjoy your site very much. I regret to say
that I missed HB last year in Japan.
Thank you for your information about Silvia's report and photos. It made me
very happy as I am big fan of Murru.
I really appreciated your suggestion to see Murru in Caliagli, but I couldn’t
make it.
Luckily I get an opportunity to go to Milan this April (as if Murru invited
me!), so I am going to enjoy his performance of Nureyev's Cenerentola.

Hi! Silvia
Thank you for your nice report and photos about R&J in Caliagli.
I am a new ballet fan so I haven't got a chance to see HB yet. I will
definitely catch the next opportunity!
Murru is one of my favorite dancers so far. I really really enjoyed your report
and photos.

Silvia-san, thank you VERY MUCH for your report on Hamburg Ballett Cagliari
tour! I was eager to know how the performance went. How nice to know the
success of "Romeo and Juliet" there! I like that touching piece very
much. I fully agree that Sivia Azzoni's Juliet is wonderful. I thought a
"real Juliet" was there, when I saw her stage last year.
Thank you also for Web site information. Beautiful photos... I try to read your

Italian.
Thank you again, Silvia-san. Hope to talk to you again.

If you wish to see some photos of the Cagliari performance you can go also to http://www.delteatro.it/hdoc/area_rec.asp?recensioneID=11963&startposition=11
It is my review of the perfomances and there are very good photos in the

press conference John Neumeier kept in Giorgio Armani's Theatre in Milan to
introduce the ballets he showed to italian public on occasion of the Tribute to
him arranged by RED Reggio Emilia Danza Festival two years ago.
I hope you appreciate it. Ciao!

I was confused and misunderstood about the articles about John Neumeier and

The article about Neumeier was described by Manuela Mulas, and a part of
"John Neumeier" writte by Silvia Poletti was cited in it.

The interview with Silvia Azzoni was also written by Manuela Mulas after all
the performances in Cagliari, maybe.

Oh, grazie tanto, Silvia !
I've just read your report happily, so I wish I had been there too.
I am very glad my favorite dancers and Neimeier's work impressed the audience
in Cagliari as well as in Japan. And I became to want to view Massimo's Romeo.
I think he has so a sentive mind that the role of Romeo is very suitable for
him. Because I had a chance to watch hid documentary film.
By the way one of my visitors of my website found your interview with Mr.
Neumeier in Italy. I will transtlate it into English by auto-translation and
read it.
Thank you so much again.

sorry for my delay in reporting the terrific succes of HB in Cagliari,
Sardinia, Italy, during the season of 7 performances of R&J. All the
company was absolutely outstanding and so lively and 'true' that the drama
seemed to develop naturally as the response of immediate facts and reactions.
Silvia Azzoni absolutely marvellous: a sublime Juliet, so tiny she is so great
she appears on the stage. I loved also the different, fresh Juliet of Helene
Bouchet, with Thiago Bordin as her young and bold Romeo. In so a different way
Ivan Urban and Carsten Jung were a wild 'Prince of Cats Tybalt' but Sacha
Riabko literally stole the show with his Mercutio's death. It was so powerful
and dramatic, and moving that public was overwhelmed and nobody (more or less)
stood up from his own seat during the following intermission. Everyone wanted to
stay and continue feeling the strong emotions. Massimo Murru, guest of HB, with
complete devotion put himself in Neumeier's hands to create Romeo. A sensitive
dancer, he grow performance after perfomance. I hear Neumeier was satisfied by
his way to work. A wonderful tour to Sardinia, indeed, against all the strikes
and bad weather Italy reserved me in those days.

I am so glad you like the photos, but I am sure you would do.
And thanks for the tips, Silvia. Massimo Murru is popular in Japan, I think. He
danced many times in Japan.
By the way, did you have a look of "NEWS" ? One of my friends
reported about the interview of Silvia & Sascha at Ballet School for the
Ballet Fan Club. In the report, Sascha would like to dance "Romeo". I
hope his wish will come true.
Silvia, I will try to write to you with another mail address again.

As it seems complicated to reach you by private email (virus maybe?) here my
dearest thank you for the mag I've received. It's so smart for the photos which
witness important performances.
I'll be in touch to tell about the Italian performances of R&J, scheduled
next January in Cagliari. The HB will dance for 7 dates there, and the role of
Romeo will see also the debut of Italian etoile Massimo Murru- Sylvie Guillem's
usual partner- with the company. Massimo said he is delighted to have this
opportunity as he loved so much to dance 'Daphnis and Chloe' at la Scala and he
longed to have new opportunities to dance a Neumeier's ballet, as his
characters, he said, are so deep and intense, he love to live in... (his dream
is also to dance the King in 'Illusions like swan lake') and Armand.

.....Under the last days I have been in Kopenhagen to watch Lloyd´s premiere as
an instructor - of a Bournonville-ballet called "Kermessen in
Bruegge". It´s a really nice and funny short ballet of 2 acts:) And Lloyd
(and Niurka) were really proud - and all the public was cheering and laughing a
lot with really a lot of applause at the end:) You could see how happy and
moved they both were:) But they had a lot of support: from the Queen of Denmark
and even some other dancers from the Hamburg Ballett, who just came there for
the Premiere :) just phantastic!

Hi Silvia! Thank you for your comment on Danze&Danza. I envy you that
you saw a wounderful performance of "Death in Venice". I've seen
the performance only once, but I really love it. Beautiful piece. Hope
to see it again. As you mentioned, it must be difficult to attract audience
by performing only one part of a full night piece. Wow, they are super!
I wish I can go to Hamburg to see their performance more often...

Ciao Sachikom and everybody. I had the luck to attend the Danza & Danza
Gala, last month and I enjoied the special moment of poetry and concentration
Silvia, Lloyd and Alexander Riabko gave us dancing a intense Pas de trois from
Death in Venice. Neumeier imagined a choreographer ( Riggins) in creative
crisis, who tries to put in real dance his ideals of beauty, harmony and
lyricism (Silvia and Sacha). It is a very clever moment of choreography which
realizes clearly Neumeier's intentions of describing, in a way, all the inner
turmoils an artist must have when he tries to give a form to his ideals. They
danced at the end of the evening and they received an outstanding acclaim by
the audience although the piece were not really ' a gala-piece', so intimate
and 'secret' it was. But the dancers take us immediately in the atmosphere of
the ballet and they kept our attention and emotion always up up up. What
artists they are!
