Administrators: perhaps you could combine the Fracci notices? I looked to see if this was already posted and didn't see anything. We must have crossed in the internet.

Today I've been watching her Giselle, her Dying Swan, clips of other roles, and I feel an eviscerating sense of loss. May she rest in peace, but we are so much poorer without her.

Profoundly saddened by this news. Fracci was one of the first truly great ballet artists I saw dance and my memories of her performances are among those I most cherish--and most advert to in my mind. Like others, I have been spending time watching video of Fracci dancing--in every way, she belongs to ballet's pantheon...

Rest in Peace, Carla Fracci. How I wish I’d had the privilege to see her perform. I was struck that she danced with the exquisite Roberto Bolle who is 29 years her junior, who I saw for the first time in London in Manon Fall 2019. I, too, am viewing Ms Fracci’s work on YouTube.  She had a beautiful line and a gorgeous technique. So sad to know she is gone.

Memories of Ms. Fracci dancing with Nureyev in Romeo and Juliet at Teatro alla Scala, and the unforgettable Tableau Vivant of Dame Margot and Carla paying artistic homage to the origin of ballet during the Italian Renaissance. Riposare in Pace bella gentildonna.
