Carla Fracci

Carla Fracci, ballerina of La Scala in Milan, is one of the most famous and most successful primadonnas. She danced in many classics and added the main man's role in ballet Hamlet to her repertoire (choreography: Beppe Menegattiho, music: Dimitrij Shostakovich) in famous The Elizabethan Theatre. Her dance is a realm of fairy-tales, gentle and smooth, while her movements are ethereal, sometimes dramatic, with unique and extraordinary expression. The ballerina was born in Milan in 1936, where she studied at the La Scala Ballet School from 1946 with Vera Volkova and others, and graduated in 1954.
