I am less of a rebel today<\/h2>\n

An Interview by Alessandro BIZZOTTO<\/p>\n

The principal dancer of the Rome Opera House used to be more rebellious at the very beginning of her professional life, when she left Rome and flew to the United States. Now, after reaching the top rank in the company and working a lot on her personality, she feels happier and stronger, doesn\u2019t take things too personally and loves working with female coaches who are on the side of women. A straightforward chat with the Italian ballerina who opens up about personal sensibilities, new company dynamics and even a darker side of her own nature<\/p>\n

She is the third Italian ballerina to have danced Giselle<\/em> in Cuba. It happened just over a year ago, on the occasion of the International Ballet Festival of Havana. Considering the first Italian to grapple with such an honour was Carla Fracci, \u201cit seems incredible\u201d, Susanna Salvi said. Less than one year prior to that Cuban Giselle<\/em>, her performance in the ballet had been filmed in Rome and broadcast by the national public broadcasting company of Italy. A role that seems to suit her. \u201cIt is the ballet I have always dreamt to dance\u201d Salvi tells me. \u201cWhen I took part in the 2006 Premio Roma competition as a student, I studied Giselle<\/em> Act one variation with my teacher Ofelia Gonzalez, and one day she spontaneously exclaimed, \u2018You really are Giselle!\u2019. Since then, I have been wanting to explore this role. And the role has never disappointed me\u201d.<\/p>\n

The international audience loves her. In 2022 she was invited to Tokyo and danced Roland Petit\u2019s Notre<\/em>–Dame de Paris<\/em> alongside Paris Opera Ballet\u2019s Principal St\u00e9phane Bullion to rave reviews, and she was a guest of the Slovenian Ballet and of the Granada Festival among others.<\/p>\n
