Grandiose premiere of the summer: "Giselle" in "Astana Ballet"

Premiere of "Giselle" fantastic ballet staged by Brazilian choreographer Ricardo Amarante will take place on the stage of "Astana Ballet" on June 23-24. The bright cultural event will be held within the framework of celebrating the 20th anniversary of the country's capital with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

This pearl of classical ballet repertoire with its fantastic choreography, scenography and costumes will certainly adorn the chronology of events of the capital's theater.

Ricardo Amarante, producer of the play, notes that before turning to the classical heritage as a choreographer, he had danced the main part of this ballet in different ballet companies of Europe for several years and studied it enough.

"I would like to bring my vision and today's reading of the performance through the staff of "Astana Ballet". Nothing will change radically, but a certain interpretation will take place.”Giselle” will show the creative potential and strength of "Astana Ballet" troupe," he says.

The two-act performance was created on the basis of an old poetic legend about Wilis, written by Heinrich Heine. Wilis were dead young unmarried girls, betrayed by their beloved. A peasant girl Giselle was one of them. When her clear and bright world was destroyed, the girl could not stand humiliation and inevitability of losing her beloved, and died.

At night, leaving the graves, the Wilis revenge for their ruined lives. They meet a man, lead him to dance and bring to death. But Gisselle's love for count Albert was stronger than evil. She forgave and saved the count, who deceived her. Albert remains to live, but eternal regret of lost love resides in his heart.

New facets of ancient ballet open in this production of "Astana Ballet". Spirituality and poetry of this performance-legend, undeniably the top of romanticism, remain unchanged.

According to the director of the play Ricardo Amarante, special effects will be applied to present the spectators with real emotions. And Adan's music will be performed by a symphony orchestra, which will certainly give a special atmosphere.
