The English National Ballet delivered a sublime, five-star performance for a combined opening and press night yesterday.
This adaptation of the classic story of Giselle was exceptional. The impactful choreography was not only en pointe but also authentic and seamlessly aligned with the narrative, ensuring a performance that was breathtaking and highly emotional.
The meticulous attention to detail was so expressive that, even if you are unsure of the difference between an arabesque and a plié, you could follow this bewitching narrative of love, jealousy, revenge, and grief.
Mary Skeaping deserves high commendation for eliciting such ethereal, dramatic performances from the principal dancers, doing justice to one of the greatest romantic ballets of all time.
The English National Ballet is a company of exceptionally talented artists and stands among the world’s leading ballet companies. Combining their artistry and skill with an equally exceptional orchestra performing Adolphe Adam’s complex yet luxuriant score, theatre-goers are in for an enchanting, emotionally powerful experience.
Tickets can be purchased directly from the box office or via ATG.
