12 February – 15 February
A heartrending story of love so powerful it reaches from beyond the grave, Giselle’s exquisite dancing lays bare a tale of passion, betrayal and forgiveness with one of the greatest of all ballerina roles at its centre.
Joburg Ballet dancers sharing the title role during the season are Ryoko Yagyu, Monike Cristina and Tammy Higgins (role debut). In the leading male role of Albrecht, audiences will see Ivan Domiciano (role debut) with Yagyu, Bruno Miranda (role debut) with Cristina, and Revil Yon with Higgins.
As the icy Queen of the Wilis, audiences can choose from Savannah Ireland and Gabriella Ghiaroni (role debut) while Hilarion will be danced by Gabriel Fernandes and Mario Gaglione (role debut).
In addition to the four leading roles, the ballet also provides a showcase for dancers in supporting roles as well as a massed corps de ballet which appears in the ghostly second act to chilling effect.
