Sunday, April 8, 1 p.m., Orcas Center
— from Margie Doyle for Orcas Center —
Orcas Center once again brings the story of unrequited love and revenge as told by Russia’s Bolshoi Ballet to the Center Stage Screen, with an encore performance of “Giselle” on Sunday, April 8.
When Giselle learns that her beloved Albrecht is promised to another woman, she dies of a broken heart in his arms. While Albrecht grieves, she returns from the dead as a Wili, a vengeful spirit meant to make unfaithful men dance until death…
Prima ballerina Svetlana Zakharova personifies this ultimate ballerina role in the classical repertoire, alongside the sensational Sergei Polunin as Albrecht, in this chilling, yet luminous ballet that continues to captivate audiences for over 150 years at the Bolshoi.
- Music: Adolphe Adam
- Choreography: Yuri Grigorovich
- Cast: Svetlana Zakharova (Giselle), Sergei Polunin (Albrecht)
- Captured live on October 11, 2015.
