In reality, the man is Albrecht, a nobleman disguised as a peasant, who is betrothed to Bathilde, daughter of the Duke. The ballet roles in Giselle are some of the most sought-after, as the choreography demands technical perfection and outstanding lyricism, as well as great dramatic skill. The Russian National Ballet Theatre, directed by Elena Radchenko, is a cut above many of its rivals maintaining the Russian tradition of scrupulous production and loving concern for this gem of the Romantic ballet. |
