First, the book. Shot by Bruce Weber, the maestro who went all A&F catalog on Bolle and talked him into posing completely naked, totally nude.
Then, the ballet. Coreographed by John Neumeier, the maestro who went all awesome on us and talked Bolle on dancing completely naked, totally nude, for an upcoming Orpheus, opening at the Staatsoper in Hamburg on December 6 (one day before Scala's own "Carmen" season opener, conducted by Barenboim).
It's all in the pages of august "Corriere della Sera", the Milanese paper that's the goto source for all things classical (schooling our forgetful US newspapers): the Milanese daily reports that the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010 will be the Year Of Nude Bolle.
We can't think of a better way to wish Robi's fans happy holidays.
