Giselle
Ballet in two acts
Giselle premiered in 1841 and is perhaps the only romantic ballet to be performed on all of the world's major ballet stages to this day. The plot goes back to a German legend: The Wilis are brides who died before their wedding. At midnight they rise from their graves to haunt the moonlit valleys, and woe to those who tempt them to dance! They are mercilessly danced to death! The librettist Théophile Gautier put it this way: "The ballet was deeply and fruitfully permeated by everything that is mysterious, remote and unearthly." that develop between men and women, making them one of the most complex and difficult lead roles in ballet history. The work places high technical demands on all performers: only the very best dancers of classical ballet are able to credibly reflect Giselle's subtle-matter, the impetuosity of the male characters and the delicate movements of the Wilis.
This work is presented in the “Moscow Version” by the legendary Russian choreographer Leonid Lavrovsky, interpreted by the artists of the Hungarian National Ballet.
“The company goes well with the classics and Giselle highlights the strengths of the performers nicely. With a strong and refined technique, dancers have a wide range of personalities on stage. ”(Lucy Van Cleef, Dance Europe)
