Bryce Davis and Cilliers opened their recital program with Richard Strauss' and John Henry Mackay's uplifting 'Heimliche Aufforderung' ('The Secret Invitation').

Bryce-Davis showed the lyric tones of her voice as she told of this delicate love.

Giselle gilt als der Inbegriff des romantischen Balletts. Es wurde 1841 in Paris uraufgeführt und erzählt die Geschichte eines Bauernmädchens, das sich in einen Herzog verliebt.
