"GISELLE"

fantastic ballet in two acts

Duration: 2 hours

Age category: 7+

 

"Giselle" was created in the era of romantic ballet and became its summit achievement. At that time, plots about the supernatural were in vogue, about young men torn between everyday life and the Undines, sylphs and other mysterious creatures from the unreal world that seduced them. The legend of the Wilis girls who were deceived by their loved ones and died before the wedding seemed to be created for a performance of this kind. The French writer Théophile Gaultier became acquainted with this story in the retelling of the German romantic Heinrich Heine. I liked the plot, especially since the heroine of the future ballet was present. The management of the Paris Opera was commissioned by the experienced composer Adolphe Adam to write the music.

 

The ballet, created more than a century and a half ago, is still of interest today due to the unique combination of a touching plot and rare richness of the performance, solo and ensemble dance.
