Ballet "Red Giselle" at the Alexandrinsky Theatre: Immersion into the fate of the great ballerina
The ballet "Red Giselle" from the Boris Eifman Ballet Theatre invites viewers to the Alexandrinsky Theatre to immerse themselves in the dramatic story of the great Russian ballerina Olga Spesivtseva. This work, based on the music of P. I. Tchaikovsky, A. Schnittke and J. Bizet, offers a unique choreographic interpretation of the fate of the artist, whose life was overshadowed by revolutionary upheavals and personal tragedies.
The performance created by Boris Eifman is not a direct retelling of Spesivtseva's biography. It is rather a choreographic fantasy that conveys the depth of her emotional experiences and reflects the fates of many talents forced to leave their homeland in search of a better life. The artistic design by Vyacheslav Okunev and the lighting design by Eifman himself create an atmosphere that immerses the audience in the whirlpool of events of the early 20th century.
The Alexandrinsky Theatre, being one of the main cultural venues of St. Petersburg, provides a unique opportunity to enjoy this masterpiece of modern ballet. The theatre hall comes alive to the sounds of music and the movements of the dancers, who embody the emotions and drama of the era on stage.
