Italian Riccardo Rodighiero danced with the Australian Ballet for three years but, despite his success, he packed his bags once again and returned home.


Riccardo Rodighiero was born in Turin, where he studied dance at the Liceo Coreutico Germana Erba and then at the English National Ballet School in London.

After a parenthesis in the National Ballet and at the New English Ballet Theater, he made his debut with the Australian Ballet in 2017.

In Australia, Rodighiero has been part of the Australian national classical ballet company for three years, a milestone for his professional and personal growth.

However despite the success, the young Italian once again packed his bags and returned to Italy.

People in Australia must stay at least 1.5 metres away from others and gatherings are limited to two people unless you are with your family or household.
