Alessandra Ferri: Ageless Grace

Alessandra Ferri, the petite Italian ballerina, was born with a grace which was to set her destiny - ballet.
Born in 1964, hers has been a long and successful career in a tough profession. Her early dancing years were spent with the Royal Ballet, before she was effectively "poached" by Mikhail Baryshnikov (with whom she had danced in Giselle and other classics) and who persuaded her to move to the American Ballet under his direction. She briefly retired in 2007 and then returned in 2013 to dance in New York Ballet's stage production of Cheri by Colette. Her latest work includes Woolf Works, based on Virginia Woolf's diaries, choreographed by Wayne McGregor.
This short montage shows two separate pieces. The first - a solo - with classical guitar accompaniment by Sting (Prelude No 1 for Cello by J S Bach). The second shows her rehearsing a duet with Laurent Hilaire for a performance of Carmen.
Alessandra Ferri - ageless grace.
