Biography

Magri was born and raised in Brazil. When she was eight, she received a scholarship to train at Petite Danse School in Rio de Janeiro. When she was sixteen, she won the Senior Age Division of the Youth America Grand Prix and the Prix de Lausanne Scholarship and Audience Prize in 2011.[2][3] Though her teachers encouraged her to train in America, she chose to go to The Royal Ballet School in London. Magri, who was trained in the Vaganova method, had to adjust to British ballet. In 2012, at age 17, Magri was offered a contract to join the company.[1] She was named First artist in 2015, to Soloist in 2016 and to First Soloist in 2018. She has danced roles such as Kitri in Don Quixote, Gamzatti in La Bayadere, Mitzi Caspar in Mayerling and Lescaut's Mistress in Manon.[2]
