Early life

He began ballet lessons at a local school age seven and was accepted into the La Scala ballet school in Milan at the age of twelve. Rudolf Nureyev, who had chosen him to perform Tadzio in the opera Morte a Venezia, encouraged him to accept the invitation in 1990, but the Theater refused him because he was too young.
Career
In 1996, following an appearance in Romeo and Juliet, twenty-year-old Bolle was promoted to principal dancer at La Scala. He left that position when he was 21 to pursue a freelance career. Since then he has starred in many ballets including Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, Cinderella, The Nutcracker, Giselle, La Esmeralda, and In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated.
