Amarcord Ballet in Rome — walksofitaly.com

It’s theatre time! We’re excited to announce the arrival of a wonderful ballet (based on a wonderful film by a wonderful director) to Rome. The Amarcord ballet, modelled on one of Italy’s most important films by the five-time Academy Award winner Federico Fellini, will be returning to Rome’s Teatro Olimpico from April 17th to 20th. Much lauded as one of the most honest portrayals ever created of Mussolini-era Italy, Amarcord is an edgy film with strong characters, cutting insight and a lot of genuine laughs. The ballet has been a fantastic adaptation of this, maintaining the themes and personas of the film without uttering a single word. Since departing Rome the ballet’s star-studded cast and acclaimed choreographer Luciano Cannito have traveled the world, enrapturing international audiences at prestigious theaters from La Scala in Milan to the Metropolitan in New York.
