*** A video dedication to Roberto Bolle **

Roberto Bolle is the premier male ballet dancer in the world and is beyond mortal men.

Roberto Bolle was born on March 26, 1975 in Casale Monferrato in the Piedmont Region of Italy. He began ballet studies at age seven and was accepted at the La Scala theatre ballet school in Milan at the age of eleven. In 1996, following an appearance in Romeo and Juliet, Roberto was promoted to Principal Dancer at La Scala. He is currently a Principal Dancer Étoile at La Scala and during the Summer of 2009 he performed at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, as a Principal Dancer with the American Ballet Theatre. It was the first time that a God reincarnate, in the form of a male Italian dancer, joined the American Ballet Theatre as a Principal.

Ave Antinous Roberto Bolle!

Photographs of Roberto Bolle used in this video are from Roberto Bolle's official website, which can be found at: http://www.robertobolle.com and which provides a listing of contributing photographers.

The video segments of Roberto Bolle are from his performance in Sicily at Taormina Arte 2009 - Roberto Bolle & Friends, of the dance: Apollo, Leader of the Muses (Apollon Musagete). Apollo is a ballet composed by Igor Stravinsky between 1927 and 1928 and choreographed by George Balanchine in 1928; however, the music in the original Taormina Arte 2009 video has been replaced with the current music track. Apollo is Balanchines oldest surviving ballet and his first great public success.

  • One of my favourite videos. Beautiful. I think it might be Enya? Just guessing.

  • @EROSGODOFGAYS The music is surely by Irish artist ENYA, though I don't know this song...

  • what's the name of the song? it's beautiful!!

  • @nabasta Male solos in ballet seem to give men the opportunity to show both beauty and strength. The women are limited to beauty. But even in contemporary dance, where things are more equal, I find men more entertaining than the women too! LOL
