Giselle Tickets: A Haunting Tale of Redemption and Love
Prolific choreographer Mary Skeaping’s production of Giselle returns to the West End this year for a strictly limited season. This striking production is “a Giselle to treasure forever” (The Arts Desk), and will keep you breathlessly compelled as a tale of love from beyond the grave unfolds on stage.The Giselle Ballet Story
Young peasant girl Giselle is in love with Albrecht, a Duke who has hidden his title and is secretly engaged to another woman. When his betrayal is exposed, Giselle is driven to madness and dies of a broken heart. At her graveside, the Wilis welcome her to their deadly sisterhood, promising revenge on the man who wronged her. But will Giselle’s love protect Albrecht from their vengeance?The Giselle Ballet Music
Giselle’s wrenching story of unearthly, supernatural passion and vengeance features music by Adolphe Adams. The French composer is known for his ballets, including Le corsaire, and for the Christmas song “O Holy Night”.In Giselle, his richly atmospheric and lush score is heavily influenced by the 19th century Romantic movement. It creates an emotional rollercoaster that pulls the audience into the depths alongside the tragic heroine. Even more impressive is the fact that he composed it in just three weeks.
