NEW JERSEY BALLET'S GISELLESince 1841, when Giselle first appeared on the stage of the Paris Opera, she has protected her faithless lover from certain death countless times in theaters across the world. It is one of the most popular ballets in the classical repertory, and its leading role is among the most sought-after in ballet. For more than half a century, New Jersey Ballet has thrilled audiences with top quality professional ballet and has given hundreds of thousands of adults and children their first introduction to ballet and inspired in many a lifelong love of the arts. NEW JERSEY BALLET'S CINDERELLA
The girl who loses a dancing shoe and finds true love is warming her pumpkin coach for a tour of the Garden State this spring. This popular children's ballet includes all the characters you know and love: the short-tempered stepmother, silly stepsisters, a magical Fairy Godmother, a ballroom full of swirling dancers, a handsome prince and a grandfather clock whose hours come to life as the midnight hour draws near. The classic fairy tale comes to life with lavish sets and costumes, performed with New Jersey Ballet's original "storyteller" narration so little children can follow the story.
