RACHELE EUSEBIONE (ITALY)
Ballet was all young Rachele Eusebione could talk about after her grandmother took her to see her first live performance as a child in Vercelli, Italy. At age three she began taking ballet lessons. By age 11 she joined La Scala Ballet School directed by the renowned artist Frederic Olivieri. It’s there she worked with Patricia Neary, Sergeij Virkarev, Vladimir Derevianko, Piotr Nardelly and Monique Lourdieres. Rachele went on to join the La Scala Ballet Company where she performed in the Ratmanki’s production of Swan Lake.
Rachele says her opportunities at Orlando Ballet have been vast and remarkable, including performing the role of Paquita in OB’s summer intensive program. But one of her most “unforgettable” experiences was performing the role of Wendy in Artistic Director Jorden Morris’ production of Peter Pan.
“Most people believe there’s a lot of competition inside each company. For me, in this company we all care for, cherish and support each other. We are each other’s biggest fans.”
Orlando Ballet School Alumni ’20. This is Rachele’s fourth season with Orlando Ballet.
