Camelliaphilia

Let the frenzy begin. 

Alessandra Ferri and Roberto Bolle cavort in Neumeier's Lady of the Camellias at La Scala.  Sadly, we won't be seeing Alessandra in the role of Marguerite in ABT's new production this spring, but the odds are astronomically in our favor that we will see Roberto as Armand. 

 

The press release that La Scala put out prior to that theater's new production a few years ago is worth reading and can be found over on ballet.co.uk. 

Camelliaphilia – let there be no cure.

Thrilled of the coming Spring season.Abt has a lot of Armands in the company but aside from Julie and Diana ,i could not think of any other( Stella ?) What do you think.

Hi Jose. Definitely those three Marguerites that you mentioned and add Dvorovenko and Reyes. But as we've come to know, it's anybody's guess as to what the casting will be.
