The Great Russian Ballet invites you to see one of the most popular ballet productions of all time. Giselle is a masterpiece in two acts with music by Adolphe Adam, and choreography by Marius Petipa. Created in 1884 for the Imperial Russian Ballet, Petipa’s definitive version was first performed by the Russian Ballet (Ballets Russes) in 1910 at the Palais Garnier. The role of Giselle is one of the most sought-after in ballet. It demands both technical perfection, and outstanding grace and lyricism, as well as great dramatic skill. In the first act, Giselle has to convey the innocence and love of a country girl, and the heartbreak of betrayal. In the second act Giselle must seem otherworldly, yet loving. Today one of the most accomplished dancers to have perform this role is Natalia Balan, the Artistic Director for the Great Russian Ballet. For the 2019 Canadian Tour she will be joined by an all-star cast of 40 highly skilled ballet dancers all trained in the Vaganova method. Enjoy a fantasy journey, through beautifully decorated sets, fabulous costumes and a master-piece of Petipa’s choreography, to the heart of this real life based romantic love story.
The Great Russian Ballet‘s “Giselle” is a magnificent performance for the entire family to enjoy.
