Russian State Ballet and Opera House, October 2014

After sold-out premieres of The Nutcracker and Swan Lake, the Russian State Ballet and Opera House return to Gordon Craig Theatre with another magical season of classical ballets.  Join us in the run-up to Christmas and experience Giselle and Nutcracker, both performed to a large, live, 30-piece orchestra.

Giselle is one of the greatest romantic ballets in the world.  With music by 19th century French composer Adolphe Adam, Giselle is a tale of betrayal and love.

The Nutcracker became one of Tchaikovsky’s most famous compositions, and perhaps the most popular ballet in the world.  It tells the story of Marie, a rather sad little girl, whose godfather Drosselmeyer gives her a Nutcracker doll as a present on Christmas Eve which turns into a prince and the magic begins . . .

Giselle Thursday 30th October
