Performed by Varna International Ballet
Accompanied by a live orchestra, Varna International Ballet Orchestra
Artistic Director Daniela Dimova
Music Director and Chief Conductor Peter Tuleshkov
The most poignant of all classical ballets is filled with dramatic passion in a chilling and heart-rending tale of love, treachery and forgiveness from beyond the grave.
The moving story of delicate Giselle and her aristocratic but duplicitous lover Albrecht is set to a glorious score.
From the visual splendour of the rustic villagers happily gathering the harvest at the start of the story to the eerie moonlit forest haunted by beautifully drifting spirits, this production is unforgettable.
Founded in 1947 and currently celebrating its 75th anniversary, the critically acclaimed Varna International Ballet comes to the UK for the very first time.
Renowned for its award-winning soloists and magnificent corps de ballet, the company has been delighting audiences for decades at home and abroad with its performances of the highest quality.
