DETAILS
Giselle in which Artistic Director of Ballet & Dance Yoshida Miyako first drew acclaim for her production in 2022 is back. Yoshida, together with British choreographer Alastair Marriot, who has a long time successful career at the Royal Ballet, worked to recreate one of the most enduring masterpieces of 19th century romantic ballet. One of the major highlights is the set design by Dick Bird. Inspired by Lithuania's Hill of Crosses, Bird's design showcases a blend of Christianity and indigenous cultures.
The National Ballet of Japan will also perform this production at the Royal Opera House in the UK in July 2025.
SYNOPSIS
The peasant girl Giselle learns that her lover is in fact a nobleman named Albrecht, who is betrothed to Bathilde, and is so shocked that she goes mad and eventually dies. At night, in the woods, Albrecht visits Giselle's grave and is almost killed by the Wilis, vengeful spirits; but Giselle, who still loves him even after her death, intervenes to save him from her fellow spirits.
