La magie universelle de Giselle au Palais Garnier

Giselle ou les Wilis : quand la sororité fait front à Garnier

Jade Larine, 25th June

Giselle

Laurine Mortha, 4th June

Giselle, emblème du répertoire romantique du Ballet de l’Opéra de Paris, brille de nouveau à l’Opéra Garnier, magnifiquement interprété par les étoiles Dorothée Gilbert et Mathieu Ganio et un corps de ballet d’une grande sensibilité.

Amanda Jennings, 14th February

Sir Peter Wright’s Giselle was given a well-deserved, thunderous ovation on opening night. A near perfect rendition of the ballet from all quarters of the Company was deeply satisfying.
