Dancers At Rome’s Ballet In Open Rebellion Against Their Director, Who Is (They Say) Disrespectful And Abusive

DANCE Posted: August 6, 2019 5:32 am

According to a letter from the dancers’ unions at the Rome Opera Ballet to the theater’s board (a letter which Italy’s largest press agency published in full), Eleonora Abbagnato screamed obscenities at them, threatened (with more obscenities) not to renew their contracts, and called the Rome Opera “a shit theater.” What’s more, Abbagnato is often absent from the company she’s supposed to be running, as she is still an étoile at the Paris Opera Ballet. – Gramilano (Milan)
