After completing his studies in architecture at the Milan Polytechnic Institute, Ezio Frigerio turned to stage and film design, often working in collaboration with his wife, Franca Squarciapino, on operas, plays and films, frequently at La Scala, Milan. In dance, he designed Roland Petit’s productions of Coppélia, The Nutcracker, Nana and Cyrano de Bergerac, and for Rudolf Nureyev, opulent productions of Romeo and Juliet, Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and La Bayadère. Frigerio also redesigned Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet for La Scala and created Nureyev’s mosaic tomb located at the Russian Orthodox cemetery in Paris. He died in 2022.
