The Nervi Ballet Music Festival is one of the oldest and the most prestigious cultural events in Italy, having welcomed some of the most celebrated artists of all time, including Margot Fonteyn, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Rudolf Nureyev, the beloved late Italian prima ballerina, Carla Fracci, and companies like Paris Opera Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Mariinsky Ballet and New York City Ballet.
As YAGP continues its 2025 Season tour, we are thrilled to announce the dates for the 5th annual YGP International Summer Workshop at Nervi Festival.
This special one-week program, now in its fifth year, is designed to give participants a taste of life in a professional dancer company. In addition to master classes, dancers will go through the process of casting, staging of new works, and rehearsals – all culminating in two spectacular Gala performances.
Daily classes and rehearsals will take place in the heart of Genoa on the historic stage of the Teatro Carlo Felice, as well as its onsite studios located in the same theater. The two Gala performances will take place on the beautiful, open-air main stage of Nervi Festival, about a 25-minute drive from the Genoa city center.
At the signature YAGP “Stars of Today Meet the Stars of Tomorrow” Gala, participants will share the stage with international ballet artists from the world’s leading dance companies.
The YAGP “Future of Dance” Gala will allow ballet enthusiasts to see some of the most promising young dance students from around the globe. Both performances will feature all Nervi program participants in the signature YAGP piece d’occasion, the Grand Defilé.
