The ballet Red Giselle, staged by the Boris Eifman Theatre, is a powerful choreographic fantasy based on the life of the great Russian ballerina Olga Spesivtseva. This production, filled with drama and deep emotions, tells the story of the artist, whose life was caught in the whirlpool of revolutionary events and personal tragedies. The performance takes place on the stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre, one of the most famous cultural venues in St. Petersburg, which gives the event special significance.

Founded in 1756, the Alexandrinsky Theatre is a symbol of the Russian theatrical tradition.
