A heart-breaking tale that revolves around the themes of forest spirits, force of nature and death.
Wonderfully passionate, Giselle is a story of how the power of forgiveness and redemption can overcome the anguish of love and betrayal. The story unfolds against the ghostly backdrop of a forest haunted by Wilis vengeful spirits of abandoned brides.
First staged in Paris in 1841, Giselle is one of the oldest ballets in the international repertory which is still enjoyed by audiences around the world. The music by French composer Adolphe Adam is one of the first full length ballet scores ever to be composed.
This production of Giselle at The MasterCard Theatres is staged by multiple award-winning Italian dancer, Giuseppe Picone, who trained at the Ballet School of Teatro San Carlo in Naples itself and is now the appointed artistic director of Corp de Ballet of the Teatro San Carlo in Naples.
Picone is also one of the two noted performers of the leading male role in Giselle, Albrecht, who betrays the innocent village girl Giselle and causes her death, only to be protected by her spirit beyond the grave. Multiple award-winning dancer and soloist Ekaterina Oleynik will dance the role of Giselle, while former soloist prima ballerinaand EtoileAnna Razzi will be re-imagining the choreography by Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot for Giselle.
It has been 25 years since Giselle was staged by an international production company in Singapore and it will be the only continent in Asia where the ballet will be performed.
