Adam - Giselle - The Bolshoi Ballet

  • $19.99

Supreme among the romantic ballets, Giselle is a beautiful and heartrending love story that has never before been delivered with such intensity as in this deeply moving performance, filmed live at the world-famous Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. The Russian influence has enriched the deep, pathetic dilemma of a country girl force to destroy the man she loves.

When this classic love story opens, Giselle is leading a very happy life. Yet this happiness is short-lived because the man she loves, Prince Albrecht, is not only hiding his aristocratic background from her, but also the fact that he is engaged. When this deceit is uncovered, tragedy begins for both of them.

Natalia Bessmertnova has breathed new life into the part of Giselle, a technically and dramatically challenging role that has been the touchstone by which ballerinas have been judged for over a century. The part of Count Albrecht is danced by Mikhail Lavrovsky, a dance of enormous expressivness and great ability. Along with the entire Bolshoi company, they have given us a tour de force that is likely to live on forever.
