Piotr Nardelli, ballet master
Graduated from the National Ballet School of Warsaw, the Polish master began his career as a soloist with the National Ballet of Poland. He worked at the Marseille Ballet, with Rosella Hightower and Roland Petit, at the Royal Swedish Ballet, and at Maurice Béjart’s Ballet du XXème siècle, with whom he closely collaborated by assisting and restaging his ballets around the world.
Together with the company’s rehearsal mistresses and over the course of two weeks, Master Nardelli has conducted the daily preparatory class to strengthen the technique, flexibility, and musicality of the entire cast, motivating them to give the Shanghai and Beijing audiences their full artistic potential in the roles they will perform in José Carlos Martínez’s ballet Don Quijote, from October 18 to 26.
In his long career, the master has also been invited by the National Ballet of Montreal, the Opera of Rome, Teatro alla Scala in Milan, the Warsaw Opera, the National Ballet of Finland, the Ballet, the Tokyo Ballet, and many others.
Piotr Nardelli has led the daily preparatory class at the Company’s headquarters for two weeks until today, when the cast departs for the tour in the People’s Republic of China
