Corriere della Sera reports last night's triumph -- the paper calls it a "frenzy" -- in Naples, at Teatro San Carlo, for Roberto Bolle's "Giselle".
Due to the dancer's full frontal nudity, no photography was allowed in the opera house -- no press photographers were present -- and the policy was also strictly enforced among the audience.
It's also interesting to note that two professional soccer players -- goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis and wingback Erminio Rullo, both from the local major league team, Napoli -- were present at the gala.
Which makes one think about how many NFL or MLB players routinely hang out at the ballet in the US.
