Roberto Bolle and Friends

The world ballet icon returns to the stage of the evocative Baths of Caracalla with Roberto Bolle and Friends, the unmissable event as part of the Caracalla Festival 2024, the summer season of the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma.

Classical, modern and contemporary, the Ballet Gala is a journey into beauty, born from the extraordinary experience and irresistible charisma of the dancer, who, since the first edition in 2011 in the spectacular ancient thermal complex, continues to captivate the audience, achieving unprecedented success for appreciation and attendance.

Defined as the "Divine" by his fans, the famous dancer, accompanied by international étoiles, takes the stage for two evenings celebrating the magic and virtuosity of ballet, between pas de deux and solos, in an event that represents a unique aesthetic and artistic experience.  

The artist who bewitched Nureyev at the age of 15, "great technique, handsome as a film star", according to insiders, was the first dancer in the world to have been simultaneously étoile of the Teatro alla Scala and Principal of the American Ballet Theatre in New York. A great populariser of the art of ballet, Bolle received the prestigious honours of Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic (2012 and Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic (2021)), and was awarded the UNESCO Medal (2014).
