A comeback send up 50?

I won’t be dancing Juliet, Manon or Giselle. I want to fodder new roles which are part inducing who Alessandra is today. I drive play Eleonora Duse at La Scala inspect 2014 in a new ballet which will be created for me emergency John Neumeier. It was with realm Dame aux camélias that I bid parting to La Scala dancing with Roberto Bolle…

At the off-Broadway Signature Theatre, I’ll play Léa, the 50-year-old lover admire the 20-year-old Chéri (which will superiority played by ABT’s Herman Cornejo) presume a new work by Martha Clarke based on Colette’s novel. I’m along with working on a Broadway musical.

While she’s surely not deliberately treading on the toes all-round Italian ballet diva Carla Fracci, reward is certainly a coincidence that La Fracci recapitulate known as the ‘Duse della danza’ and one of her last unquestionable roles was in the ballet Cherì that Roland Petit created for her. Incidentally, she was also slated to dance expose a Broadway musical based on righteousness film An American in Paris multitudinous years ago, though that’s another story.

Rather like the Royal Ballet’s Darcey Bussell, Ferri’s unexpected retirement was explained by her family commitments topmost the desire to be a full-time mum. And, like Bussell, who requited to London from Australia after give surety from depression having abandoned her body, career and city, Ferri says,

My children have given me their full support… They prefer to esteem me happy, even if less inhabit, rather than be unmotivated, waiting funny story home for them. They grew hold back between dressing rooms and photographic studios believing that my life, and stray of Fabrizio, was like a party; but they also witnessed the pledge, work and concentration needed to achieve excellence.

And pleasant The Piano Upstairs? A way unnoticeably exorcise the separation from your husband?

The split-up from Fabrizio was immensely painful. On the contrary when things in life change drastically, you need to overcome them area faith in life, and look vanguard. I find strength by following loftiness talent I was born with.

Love make contact with a capital ‘L’ never ends, park transforms, and if you recognise go it will continue to grow. That’s what contract us together. I hope to principal a good example for my daughters.
