The Alexandrinsky Theatre will present Eifman's ballet "Red Giselle."
This choreographic production tells the story of Spessivtseva, immersing the audience in the atmosphere of revolutionary Petrograd and conveying the heroine's profound experiences through complex and expressive dance movements. "Red Giselle" is a unique work that combines classical ballet traditions with modern choreographic techniques. The production stands out for its emotional intensity and drama, evoking powerful emotions in the audience and compelling them to empathize with the heroine's fate. The ballet explores themes of tragedy, loneliness, love, and struggle—aspects that were integral to Olga Spesivtseva's life during the turbulent times of the Revolution.
In December 2025, "Red Giselle" will be presented at the Alexandrinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. Performances will take place on December 22 and 23 on the historic stage of this theater. The musical accompaniment will include works by composers such as Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Alfred Schnittke, and Georges Bizet.

Spectators will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in one of the most dramatic chapters in the history of Russian ballet, enjoy the outstanding skill of the country's finest dancers, and experience the atmosphere of great theatrical art in one of Russia's most prestigious historical theaters.
"Red Giselle" combines naturalism and expression, bringing the audience closer to the heroine's emotional state, her inner experiences, and her dramas.
