I saw him in NY at the met in swanlake. He was beastly but in his variation it kind of looked like he forgot he was doing black swan and did don q instead. He did the double sautebasque double cab and saute again. It was funny. BUT HE WAS AWESOME!
The arrogance of some of the people posting comments on this video is astonding! Bolle is in the top 5 male ballet dancers alive today. This summer he will be the first Italian male principal at the Met in NY. Instead of posting your crappy petty comments, you should be celebrating his artistry. Even Bolle's worst dancing is incredible! He is awesome!
I completely agree with you! I watch so manty videos of wondrous dancers and see comment after comment of people dogging them. Where do they get the nerve? You know they would be kissing his ass if they ever met him in person. Tisk tisk
Well pediatrapaola, the American Ballet Theatre (ABT) invited Roberto as a guest Principal this past June/July and he was the first Italian male ballet dancer ever to dance as a Principal with the ABT. So if the ABT thinks very highly of Roberto, then he must be an outstanding dancer. I would rather celebrate the beauty and accomplishments of outstanding artists rather than get on YouTube and post insulting comments about them ...... and that was the point of my message below.
please kind friend first I really wonder if you could explain to me where my comment is insulting because I only said that in my opinion roberto is not among the top 5 after having defined that I am Italian and that I like him,second the first italian male dancer guesting with ABT was Paolo Bortoluzzi.best regards
Oh no, pediatrapaola, I was not referring to you, but to an earlier comment posted by someone else. I was trying to make two points: (1) that Roberto danced as a Principal for ABT and so he must be an outstanding dancer and one of the best in the world at this time, and (2) the reason for my first comment below was the previous insulting comment posted by someone else.
ok no problem,roberto is good very good I saw him many times has strong tecnique and is very good looking and we are very proud about him but simply I belive that his tecnique is not enought strong to put him among the strongest in the world in that way,but being more than 190 cm his tecnique his really remarcable,yes paolo bortoluzzi during his best period used to be guest with ABT and rightly in my opinion,he was really a fine dancer in his time .
I have forgotten that recently an other italian was for a period with ABT,GIUSEPPE PICONE,a fine dancer,but less than Bolle,in my opinion,he is posted on tube,you can see
Pediatrapaola, thank you for the note on Picone. The God Antinous was the last God of the Roman Empire, Greece and Egypt. Roberto Bolle is the risen God Antinous in human form. So no other male ballet dancer can compare to Roberto Bolle, because Roberto is a risen God.
The truth is no exaggeration, pediatrapaola, as you can see from the three videos on Antinous Roberto Bolle on my channel. Ave Antinous Roberto Bolle!
Yes, Antinous died at an early age, but upon his death (drowing in the Nile River) rose as Osiris-Antinous, God of Egypt, Greece and Rome ..... and now reincarnated as Antinous Roberto Bolle.
The basis for fame of Osiris-Antinous or Antinous Roberto Bolle is irrelevant to my comment below. So too is the question of whether Bolle danced at his best in this clip. My comment related to the beauty of Bolle's dancing and his professional accomplishments as a dancer, both of which I celebrate!
Oh thank you BernardProfitendieu, for coming down from the heavens on high and sharing yourself with us earthly peons. We are all so unworthy! Only your opinion matters oh great and wondeful BernardProfitendieu among all in the world. It does not matter that ABT has retained Roberto Bolle as the first Italian Principal to dance with ABT. Only your opinion matters!
Oh great BernardProfitendieu please forgive me for speaking my opinion. I forgot that your permission is required.
No HeavensToMurgatroid9. I just find it offensive when an asshole comes on YouTube and posts an insulting snide remark to someone such as "get a grip", especially when the asshole wasn't even a part of the original comment exchange.
I just noticed, HeavensToMurgatroid9 that you and BernardProfitendieu both claim on your channels to be from France. I should have known, since the French are known worldwide for their rude behavior!
Your comment, HeavensToMurgatroid9, that: "I'll let you get back to sniffing Roberto Bolle's used dance belt now" is a perfect example of the very rude behavior that the French are known for worldwide. It reveals a self-righteous, arrogant, condescending and dismissive attitude that shows why the reputation has been so well earned!
I've watched a number of Bolle's videos on here. The guy is wildly talented, with perhaps the cleanest pirouettes since Erik Bruhn. But he has this strange habit of not completely straightening his right knee, particularly in his cabrioles, sometimes even in a simple saute. Check it out. Is his right knee permanently injured or something?
Baryshnikov, yep (best jumps ever), Acosta, nope, but thanks for the tip. Please note the qualifier "perhaps" in my original comment -- just trying to give credit where credit is due here, given that what I really wanted to point out was the wonky right knee. And as for cleanest pirouettes since Erik Bruhn, check out the Leonid Sarafanov clips on here; unbelievable.
I agree... there is something about his right knee. Also, talking about great pirouettes, check out Carlos Acosta (Royal Ballet) and Jose Manuel Carreño (ABT)...
If we're talking about all around perfection in jumps, turns, and even partnering check out HERMAN CORNEJO. I firmly believe that his name will go up in history right next to Baryshnikov, Nureyev, and Njinsky. But that's beside the point...
Acosta, Bolle, Carreno, Pinillos, and Sarafanov are all wonderful. I have a personal preference for Carreno's spins and Acosta's leaps. But Bolle is the best partner of those, I believe. Hmmm...
he is georgeous! a great dancer too, but he is georgeous!
