Fantasy ballet in two acts
"Giselle" is the most typical "action ballet" of the Romantic period that has survived in the global repertoire to this day. The libretto, written by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Théophile Gautier, is based on the legend of the young girls' ghosts from the Herculean mountains who died before their wedding and seduced young men with their dance. The theme, depicting the story of unhappy love, corresponds to the ideals of Romanticism. The dramaturgy of the ballet primarily highlights the role of the title character, which requires not only acting skills but also a sense of the Romantic ballet style. This title is staged by all the greatest theaters in the world, and every top ballerina wants to have it in her repertoire. In our Theater, this will be the third premiere of this title, the previous ones took place in 1979 choreographed by Jarosław Piasecki and in 2003 choreographed by Robert Streiner. The long-awaited classic ballet position in Łódź will surely be met with interest from the audience.
