Re-performance of the ballet "Giselle" in Ho Chi Minh City

On the nights of October 21 and 22, at the City Theater, the Ho Chi Minh City Ballet, Symphony Orchestra and Opera (HBSO) will re-perform the ballet "Giselle". This is one of the most famous ballets in the world ballet scene.

The story of Giselle's dramatic love on the HBSO stage was co-directed by Japanese artist Yuki Ohmori and French artist Chloe Glemot. The play featured performances by talented artists: Meritorious Artist Tran Hoang Yen, Meritorious Artist Dam Duc Nhuan, Meritorious Artist Ho Phi Diep, Artist Do Hoang Khang Ninh and artists from the HBSO Ballet.

The play "Giselle" has created many emotions with the audience because of the contrasting structure of the two performances: the scene of a village in Southern Germany in the Middle Ages, during the harvest season, filled with peace and rural joy. "Giselle" - the main character, is an innocent, beautiful girl who has the potential to be chosen as the queen of that year's harvest season.

In contrast, the setting of the afterlife after Giselle's death is full of resentment but still filled with love. The ballet was composed in 1841 - the most famous and widely known work in the career of French composer Adolphe Adam.
