Guest kacy Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 AH!...knew i should be checking that out too at some point!..thanks k Quote Link to comment
Meggy Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Well. She's already 43, so I knew she'd be retiring soon, but still. WHY couldn't I have been born earlier?!? And had the opportunity to see all these purportedly gorgeous dancers live when they were in their heyday? I've only ever seen Alessandra Ferri in those gorgeous publicity shots for ABT and in some online video clips. She's so beautiful. End of an era, I should think. - Meggy Quote Link to comment
Hollywood Ballet Dude Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I must be getting old- seems like she just came on the scene! And I agree- beautiful, and glamorous too. Quote Link to comment

TWiNKLTOES194 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 NOOO!!! I LOVE Alessandra Ferri!!! She is the best Juliet I have ever seen! Quote Link to comment
eurydice Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Does anyone know how I can get tickets for her last performance in Tokyo to be delivered overseas? The ticketing websites linking to the official performance website only provides delivery to Japan addresses Quote Link to comment
dance4life56 Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 eurydice, her last show has been sold out for several weeks. sorry Actually her last performance of Manon was supposed to be last thursday, but we couldn't get tickets. Then someone got sick and she was put in for saterday, and we got to see it! She is so phenomonal. I love how much expression she uses, she does the near impossible-makes it look as if it is not work. *personal brag board-I got her autograph!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment

I've only ever seen Alessandra Ferri in those gorgeous publicity shots for ABT and in some online video clips. She's so beautiful. End of an era, I should think. Yes, I was thinking exactly the same thing just the other day! I recently dug up an old video of "Romeo and Juliet" with the Royal Ballet and a (I believe...) 20-year-old Alessandra Ferri as Juliet. The FEELING she puts into everything! You can virtually feel Juliet's pain when you watch Alessandra dance that role. I also found myself sighing out loud at some points; she just looked soooo beautiful - her dancing looks weightless and effortless and oh so smooth! A phenominal dancer! I truly regret never having been able to see her dancing live sometime. *sigh* .......... Quote Link to comment
thekboose Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 David Hallberg posted this link on the Winger -- to a NY Times video clip of her farewell performance. Lovely! http://video.on.nytimes.com/index.jsp?auto...b3a1f8063ef50f8 (not a "youtube" link... I hope it's ok....) Quote Link to comment
Amy'sMom Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 thekboose -- THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! Alessandra Ferri is my very favorite dancer, and I was hoping there would be some footage of her final performance! Quote Link to comment
dance4life56 Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Also, if you go to youtube and search 'Alessandra Ferri Farewell' Their are sevral clips of her curtain call. (I hope that is ok mods. seeing as it is not a link but just a suggestion of how to get their) Quote Link to comment
Clara 76 Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 No problem, dance4. Quote Link to comment
concerned parent Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere, but there was an interesting article in the Sunday NY Times a few weeks ago that reported that not only Alessandra Ferri but also Kyra Nichols from the NY City Ballet, Darcy Bussel from the Royal Ballet and Patricia Barker from PNB all retired during June.
