Giselle is an all-time favourite for ballet fans, but have you seen an Eastern interpretation of this Western classic?
In 1960, the National Ballet of China staged its first performance of this Romantic classic, which has since been regarded as one of three founding repertoires for the group. For the first time on screens in the UK and worldwide, this will be a rare chance for you to have a global experience of ballet, to share a mutual passion. After all these years, Giselle is still being performed by the national group to date to millions of audiences within the country and internationally.
Giselle, a young and innocent peasant girl falls in love with Albrecht, a Duke who hides his royal identity from her. When Giselle discovers she has been deceived, she is driven to madness, and dies of a broken heart. The story remains.
Giselle is part of a new series, Global Stage on Screen™, brought to you by NGO UK-China Film Collab and All The Way.
