FAR too young   He was always such an entertaining yet informative speaker, and has been much missed, by me at least, from Royal Ballet Insight events in recent years.

 

My condolences to all who knew and loved him.

Oh no. I met him several times and he was always fun and interesting to talk to. Very intelligent, too. I often disagreed with his reviews, but always enjoyed reading them because they were informative and well written.

 

My deepest condolences to his family and friends. RIP Gianandrea.

[Jan McNulty]

This is incredibly sad news.  He was so articulate and erudite.

 

Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

And of a sudden I realise that it has been an age since I last captured a link to one of his pieces, and can probably guess now why that has been.  As Janet says, articulate and erudite - Requiescat In Pace.

Very sad to learn this news. I was fascinated by everything Gianandrea told the audience at a Royal Ballet Insight Day Intro to Ballet.????

Oh no! I knew Giannandrea through our mutual colleagues, and work together. He was generous, kind and an excellent scholar. What a loss. Oh I'm so shocked.
