This is a list of Aterballetto productions. Aterballetto is an Italian modern dance company founded in 1977 by ATER (Associazione Teatri Emilia Romagna) as "Compagnia di Balletto dei Teatri dell'Emilia Romagna". Its first artistic director was Vittorio Biagi. It is based in the north eastern Italian city of Reggio Emilia. It acquired its present name in 1979.[1] That same year Amedeo Amodio became the company artistic director.
Aterballetto is the principal producing and touring dance company in Italy and also the first permanent ballet-producing organisation independent of an opera house in Italy. The company enjoys worldwide recognition for its productions performed in theatres and festivals throughout Europe, North America, South America, Africa and Asia.Since 1997 the company's artistic director and choreographer is Mauro Bigonzetti.
The company's style is marked by the ability to shift across a wide range of musical styles, from classical to pop and jazz.
