YAGP is thrilled to be partnering with the 2021 Nervi Festival to present its signature “Stars of Today Meet the Stars of Tomorrow” Gala and Grand Defilé in Genova, Italy.
The Nervi Festival, one of the most prestigious and significant events of the Italian dance scene, has welcomed some of the most celebrated artists of all time throughout its history, including Margot Fonteyn, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Rudolf Nureyev, and beloved Italian prima ballerina Carla Fracci, the memory of whom this year’s festival is dedicated.
Along with two evenings of the critically-acclaimed YAGP Gala in collaboration with Live Arts Global, the Nervi Music Ballet Festival 2021 at the spectacular, newly-renovated Nervi Park Theater will feature world-renowned ballet stars and companies, including an all-Stravinsky program, an evening with Svetlana Zakharova (Bolshoi Ballet), The Moiseyev Dance Ensemble, and many others.
