Joburg Theatre, 12 – 15 February
After an absence of six years, Giselle, the most sublime of all romantic ballets, returns to the stage of the Joburg Theatre when Joburg Ballet presents five performances of the beloved classic from Thursday 12 February to Sunday 15 February.
Giselle is being staged by SA-born, Europe-based Angela Malan, acclaimed former ballerina and now an admired international ballet teacher, coach and producer. Working with her as she prepares the production for the stage are Joburg Ballet’s ballet mistress Kim Vieira and assistant producers Nicole Ferreira-Dill and Karen Beukes-MacDonald. Appropriately for this 25th anniversary production of Giselle, both Ferreira-Dill and Beukes-MacDonald had distinguished careers as principal dancers with Joburg Ballet.
Giselle launches Joburg Ballet’s 25th Anniversary Season, marking the Silver Jubilee of the company’s founding in 2001. Giselle was the first ballet presented by the newly created Joburg Ballet, known then as South African Ballet Theatre, and has been a pillar of the company’s repertoire over the years. Read more
