Last spring, the Rome Opera Ballet, directed by Eleonora Abbagnato, premiered a new version of El Corsario, choreographed by José Carlos Martínez. The production, whose functions were interrupted by the coronavirus, has just been awarded one of the most important awards given in Italy. This is the Danza&Danza Award for the best classical production of 2020.
