Giselle is to the ballet world what Hamlet is to the stage. It is one of the most romantic and oldest ballets still performed worldwide, in all kinds of performances and interpretations. This Giselle is a new interpretation, created especially for The United Ukrainian Ballet, by world-renowned choreographer Alexei Ratmansky. With a lively first act, its gripping madness scene and the subsequent unearthly, pure 'white act', Giselle is one of the must-sees of the romantic-classical repertoire.
