Red Giselle at the Alexandrinsky Theatre: dive into the Drama of Olga Spesivtseva’s life

Created by the outstanding choreographer Boris Eifman, Red Giselle is a gripping drama that comes to life on the stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre. This work is inspired by the life of the legendary Russian ballerina Olga Spesivtseva, whose life was marred by revolution, emigration and personal tragedies.

Located in the center of St. Petersburg, the Alexandrinsky Theatre is one of the oldest and most significant theaters in Russia. Its majestic architecture and rich history create the perfect setting for the production of Red Giselle. The theatre not only preserves traditions, but also opens up new horizons for contemporary art.

In the first act, the audience is transported to revolutionary Petrograd, where the Ballerina finds herself between two worlds: classical art and the destructive power of the new government. In the second act, the action takes place in Paris, where the heroine tries to find herself in a new environment, but faces loneliness and internal contradictions.

This ballet allows you to touch a complex story through the prism of music and dance. Each spectator will be able to feel the tragedy of the heroine and think about the eternal questions of love, betrayal and finding yourself.

Don't miss the opportunity to see Boris Eifman's stunning production on the stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre. Buying tickets on our website is easy and convenient.
