A celebrated production of one of the greatest Romantic ballets Giselle is a haunting story of innocence and betrayal – a timeless tale about the redemptive power of love.
Following five-star reviews in January 2024, Mary Skeaping’s enthralling production returns with performances in Manchester, Liverpool and London.
A young peasant girl, Giselle, is in love with Albrecht, a Duke who hides his title and his engagement to another. When Giselle discovers he has deceived her, she is driven to madness, and dies of a broken heart. Late at night, the Wilis gather by her grave, ready to welcome her into their fold as the vengeful spirits of betrayed brides, who force men to dance to their death. Will Giselle’s love protect Albrecht from his fate?
From the sunny optimism of Giselle’s idyllic village life to a moonlit world of mystery and menace, Mary Skeaping’s enthralling production features some of ballet’s most dramatic scenes and otherworldly images.
Adolphe Adam’s lush score, performed live by English National Ballet Philharmonic, sets the scene for an atmospheric and ultimately heartbreaking performance.
Special notes
Children under the age of 16 must be seated with an adult/someone over 18. The adult cannot be sitting separately. Latecomers - if you are late, you will be able to view the performance on a TV monitor whilst our staff wait for an appropriate point in the performance to allow you to enter the auditorium and take your seat. Our staff will try to do this as early as they can within the performance but this isn’t always possible and in some cases you may be asked to wait until the interval.
