Giselle
Louisville Ballet
One of the most beloved and beautiful ballets in the classical canon, Giselle closes the Louisville Ballet’s 2017/18 season. Giselle is the classic tale of love, betrayal, forgiveness, and redemption. It begins with the budding love between Giselle and Albrecht, only to be followed by his heartbreaking betrayal, which drives Giselle mad and sends her to her grave. Ultimately, though, the power of true love prevails, allowing Giselle to forgive Albrecht and save him from death at the hands of Myrtha, the Queen of the Wilis.
This adaptation of Giselle features classic choreography by Marius Petipa with updates by Louisville Ballet’s Artistic and Executive Director Robert Curran, and Louisville Ballet’s Senior Ballet Master Harald Uwe Kern.
Giselle features scenic designs by Peter Cazalet, known in Louisville as the scenic and costume designer for The Brown-Forman Nutcracker. Cazalet’s timeless designs were created specifically for Louisville Ballet’s Giselle, as well as the costumes created by David Heuvel.
Louisville Ballet last staged Giselle in 2014 featuring these scenic and costume designs, but with different choreography.
