The renowned Bavarian company kicks off the ballet season at the Gran Teatre del Liceu with Giselle by Peter Wright, a must-see classic for dance lovers.
A seemingly idyllic rural village life by day and, parallel to this, an eerie ghostly dance at night: these two realities characterize the events on stage in Giselle. Peter Wright choreographed the production for the Munich company in 1974, following the tradition of the classical step material by Marius Petipa, Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot. Peter Wright was not interested in reconstructing the original from 1841, but adapted the staging and choreography to the technique of today's dancers. The result is a Giselle that, on the one hand, is completely committed to the spirit of Romanticism and, on the other, puts the acting skills and virtuosity of classical ballet in the foreground.
