Giselle. Version No. 6

PARTNERS OF THE PROJECT 

The premiere of Adolphe Adam’s ballet took place on 28 June 1841 at the Academy of Music and Dance in Paris. From that moment Giselle was an unprecedented success. Already in 1842, the production was staged in St. Petersburg by the French choreographer Antoine Titus Dauchy (Titus). Then Giselle was performed in London, Milan, Boston. But, perhaps, it was Marius Petipa who created such verson of the ballet for the Mariinsky Theatre in 1884 that he is still rightfully considered the third author of Giselle’s choreography (after Jean Coralli and Jules Perrault).

In May 2022, the principal ballet master of the theatre Igor Kolb presented to the artistic council his vision of Adolphe Adam’s Giselle. It is interesting to note that the audience will hear pas de deux music in the upcoming premiere, which did not sound in the previous five productions, this is the sixth. The production team includes musical director Nikolai Koliadko, choreographer Igor Kolb, designer Vyacheslav Okunev. It is expected that animals, for example, dogs, will take part in some scenes of the production. ‘It seems to me that this will be a good addition to the action and will not pass into the category of a circus performance,’ Igor Kolb added. The audience will see the premiere in the new season. At the end of September, the legend of the Wilis (the deceased unmarried girls who were betrayed by their beloved) will come to life on the Belarusian stage. From now on, they are forced to avenge themselves, at night killing young men, drawing them into their dances.

The production will feature: Liudmila Khitrova and Bgatova Diana as Giselle, Konstantin Geronik, Even Capitaine, Dzianis Shpak as Albrecht, Maryna Vezhnavets, Veranika Auchynnikava, Valeria Grudina as Myrtha, Igor Artamonov, Anton Kravchenko, Yury Kavaliou as Hans, etc.
