Roberto Bolle and Friends

On 14 July 2026, the world icon of ballet returns to Rome, at the Circus Maximus, with Roberto Bolle and Friends, an unmissable appointment as part of the summer season at the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma.

Combining classical, modern and contemporary styles, the dance gala is a journey into beauty, inspired by the extraordinary experience and irresistible charisma of the dancer, who, since the very first edition, has continued to captivate the audience, achieving unprecedented success in terms of both acclaim and attendance.

The ‘Divino’, as his fans call him, performs, accompanied by famous dancers, for an evening of dance, music and wonderful visions: a unique aesthetic and artistic experience in the world of dance, mixing classical and contemporary repertoire in a harmonious dialogue between different periods, styles and artistic expressions.

The artist who captivated Nureyev at the age of 15, described by professionals as having ‘great technique, as handsome as a film star’, was the first dancer in the world to be simultaneously étoile at La Scala and Principal at the American Ballet Theatre in New York. An extraordinary ambassador for the art of dance, Roberto Bolle has been awarded 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), as well as the UNESCO Medal (2014).
