Since its Paris premiere in 1841, Giselle has become one of the most alluring and popular ballets of all time. Through stunning classical dance and music by Adolphe Adam, the ballet takes the audience through the emotions of romance, betrayal, and then forgiveness. It is a story of a young peasant girl, Giselle, who is seduced and betrayed by a prince named Albrecht. The betrayed Giselle goes mad and dies of a broken heart. Her spirit joins the supernatural Wilis; women scorned before their wedding day and doomed to take their revenge for eternity. In the end, Giselle forgives Albrecht and protects him from the vengeful Wilis. Giselle is one of the greatest ballet classics, said Artistic and Executive Director, Colleen Smith. The role of Giselle requires brilliant dance technique. The dancer must transform from a naive peasant girl, experiencing the emotions of love, betrayal, and insanity, into an ethereal spirit. Thats a lot of emotions!Lily Loveland will dance the challenging and complex role of Giselle and Aaron Melendrez will dance the role of Albrecht. Other key roles include Myrtha, the unrelenting Queen of the Wilis played by Madeleine Miller; and Hilarion, the suspicious gamekeeper played by Aurelio Guimaraes. Ballet Palm Beach will present the romantic masterpiece, Giselle on March 4-6, 2022 at the Rinker Playhouse at The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets are available at balletpalmbeach.org or by calling The Kravis Center box office at (561) 832-7469 or (800) 572-8471.
