Ballet: Giselle 🩰👻

Join us to watch Ballet Cymru🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 perform the classic ballet Giselle at Dance City💃🩰.

Giselle (1841) tells the hauntingly beautiful tale of a young woman who falls in love but dies of heartbreak and gets up to some ghostly adventures in the afterlife 💔👻 …!

A definitive example of the Romantic genre, Giselle pivots on themes of infatuation, betrayal and redemption, exploring love’s power both to save and to destroy.

Its story takes inspiration from the Slavic legend of the wilis: cursed maidens who have died before their wedding night and become beautiful but vengeful woodland spirits who like to dance men to death … 🌳🫦☠️

Featuring the original score by Adolphe Adam and new choreography, it promises to be an entertaining night both for seasoned ballet lovers and for those who are merely curious 🎭🤔 …

There are still pay-what-you-want tickets (£2 to £10) available for this performance, so snap one up here! If you miss out on the cheaper tickets, the full price ones are £21.50 🎟️💸.

We'll meet at The Town Wall pub from 6:30pm onwards, and head over to Dance City for around 7:15pm to grab our seats. Feel free to show up earlier to The Town Wall if you wish to grab food there before the performance, or to catch up with us directly at Dance City if you’re pushed for time. Afterwards we’ll reconvene and discuss over drinks! 💬🍷

We’ll post in the event comments on the night, to keep you updated as to where to find us.

Come and join us for a marvellous night of magical movement and music 🎶 ✨☺️!
