Balletto di Milano  performed last night in the enchanting atmosphere of the Castello Sforzesco in Milan.The show Grandi Balletti is a fascinating journey into the world of classical dance. Pieces taken from the great and best-known repertoire, including the pas de deux from Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Le Corsaire and Don Quixote, alternate with neoclassical and choral choreographies created expressly for the Company.Balletto di Milano boasts a young and fierce cast, starting with the couple Amanda Hall and Emmanuel Ippolito who gave us a lively moment from “Flames of Paris, the remarkable chemistry between the very young Annamaria Maestri (Juliet) and the fiery Mattia Imperatore (Romeo), Alessia Sasso and Alessando Orlando in their sultry pas de deux from Ravel’s Notre-Dame-d de Paris.Among them the most applauded couple was Paloma Bonnin whose dizzying fouettes were truly incalculable, perhaps more than the notorius 32… and her partner GianManuel d’Elia engaged in Petipa’s historic choreography for “Corsaire”
