Went up to Hamburg for a night this week to see a ballet we, in Stuttgart, are very familiar with It was sort of a special ocassion as I believe it was meant to be Alessandra Ferri’s last full lenghth ballet ever. The cast of this gala performance of Neumeier’s ‘’The Lady of the Camellias'’ comprised of dancers from the Paris Opera, Hamburg Ballet and of course Alessandra and Roberto. (Bolle)

Ferri totally knocked me out with her incredible portrayal and Roberto was an inspiration to any tall guy who might dream of playing Armand Duval

I’m envious of those who get to see or perform in her Gala programs coming up in Italy and Japan. It’s hard to say goodbye to such an amazing artist…

Hi Evan,
Thank you so much for the post and the beautiful picture. I too was lucky enought to see Ferri’s last Romeo and Juliet in NY. Evan I have no words to describe how I felt after seeing her dance. I felt so inspired and I couldn’t sleep because I had so much enegy and I kept seeing her dance in my mind.
So thank you!
I wish I could just follow her around on her last performances!
Brava….

Hi, Evan,
Thank you for all the pictures and you posted and and the comments you made. They are beautiful and interesting. I saw Ferri’s gala in Tokyo. She played her favorite roles, Juliet, Manon, and Margeurite. Her PDD with Bolle was just beautiful. Breathtaking performance. We fans were moved and many were in tears.
I heard that the Stuttgart Ballet will come to Japan next year and we can see Onegin and the Sleeping Beauty.
I saw Onegin the Act 3 PDD of the great etoile of POB, Manuel Legris with Monique Loudieres letely in Japan.
It was perfecttly dramatized. I really want to see all the acts of Onegin.
I hope that I see you perform in Tokyo.
