Global Stage on Screen: Giselle (UK Premiere) tickets

Giselle is an all-time favourite for ballet fans, but have you seen an Eastern interpretation of this Western classic?

In 1960, the National Ballet of China staged its first performance of the Romantic classic Giselle, which has since been regarded as one of three founding repertoires. For the first time on screens in the UK and worldwide, this will be a rare chance for you to have a truly global experience of ballet.

After all these years, Giselle is still being performed to date to millions of audiences within the country and internationally.

Giselle, a young and innocent peasant girl falls in love with Albrecht, a Duke who hides his royal identity from her. When Giselle discovers she has been deceived, she is driven to madness, and dies of a broken heart.

This is the Opening for a new series, Global Stage on Screen™, brought to you by NGO UK-China Film Collab and All The Way, featuring 10 productions.

Online screenings will also be available from 29 April after the launch.
