Eleonora Abbagnato is the prima ballerina at the Opra de Paris. This original volume reveals her artistic versatility through the photographs of four celebrated ballets. The book opens with an original interview by Valeria Crippa, journalist and ballet critic. Comprehensible to all, the ballerina's answers outline the technical aspects of choreography, the difficulty of interpreting the score and the way in which she studies her role in each case and prepares to offer a unique and unrepeatable performance. This is the ideal gift for aspiring dancers and those who always dreamed of taking up this career.
Once a dynamic entrepreneur, Massimo Gatti is now a highly respected professional photographer. Giuseppe Tornatore is a film director, screenwriter, and producer. Valeria Crippa, journalist and ballet critic.
