  • The Royal Ballet performs the Dance of the Willis from Giselle. This classic Romantic ballet returns to the Royal Opera House this November. For tickets and more details: www.roh.org.uk...
    Giselle is the classic ballet of the Romantic era - and, for the dancer performing the title role, one of the greatest challenges in the repertory. Peter Wright’s production, a classic itself, perfectly achieves the dual aspects of the ballet, moving from the naivety of young love between Giselle and Albrecht in the village setting of Act I to the ethereal Wilis in Act II’s eerie moonlit forest. Rich in vivid character detail and poignant depth of feeling, Giselle is a reminder of ballet’s power to move and thrill.

    The favourite part of my favourite ballet. Giselle was my introduction to ballet, when I stumbled upon while channel surfing on TV as a child. Never danced myself though, and still regret it.

      Same here! I started when I was 24, now I’m 30, I’m on pointe shoes and this semester we are doing this exact part from Giselle. Obviously adapted to our level, but the feeling when I nail all six arabesque in a row is just wonderful.

    @L-Ondee Před 2 lety +42

    If I were a choreographer I would make a ballet called Myrtha. This character is hardly ever done well, yet a demanding part and a very interesting role. It might be me but I am hardly ever satisfied with her representation. I believe if one searched a bit on her insides there would be worlds to be discovered. (like Marcia Haydee did with Carabosse).
    By the way, I adore the second soloist, the girl with the dark hair!

      It was definitely intentional, not everything in ballet is 'graceful' and 'flowing', it's acting. Especially in the last performer, they did an amazing job at giving the impression of someone really forced to be dancing with someone until they died; it's almost puppet-like, reflecting their assigned fate as wilis.
