I had the pleasure to have Manfredi assist me in reviving Arthur Pita’s corepgraphy for Royal Opera House’s Carmen in Guangzhou, China.I found him the most hardworking, loyal and capable assistant .As well a great performer and a beautiful flamenco dancer.The patiente and love he showed in teaching our cast of Chinese dancers was amazing and he was loved and respected by all in return.His support and company was invaluable and his energy and sense of humour infectious, which helped so much in our long hours and days of rehearsals. I shall look forward to working with him again very soon, I hope.
