History
Volpi began studying coreography at the Instituto Superior de Arte Teatro Colón in Argentina, before moving to Toronto's National Ballet School and then Stuttgart's John Cranko School.[6] He became an apprentice at Stuttgart Ballet in 2004 and started directing dances in 2006.[7]
He joined the Ballet am Rhein in 2020 and left the organization in 2024.[4] He later joined Hamburg Ballet in September 2024. In the following year, a number of dancers in the organization stated that Volpi had created a distressing work environment.[1] He left the company in June of 2025.[5]
