Russian ballet classicsĀ GiselleĀ andĀ TheĀ NutcrackerĀ come to EastbourneāsĀ Congress TheatreĀ with magical performances onĀ Friday, December 5 and Saturday, December 6.
PERFORMED BY the acclaimed Russian State Ballet and Opera House and accompanied by a 30-piece live orchestra, these shows are a perfect treat for all the family to enjoy during the festive season.
GiselleĀ is considered one of the greatest of all the romantic ballets and one of the most sought-after roles in ballet, as it demands technical perfection, outstanding grace and lyricism, as well as great dramatic skill.
It tells of the story of a peasant girl who dies of a broken heart when she finds out the man she loves is engaged to someone else. Can her love save the remorseful Albrecht from his certain fate?
An eternal seasonal favourite,Ā The NutcrackerĀ tells the story of Clara whose godfather, Drosselmeyer, gives her a Nutcracker doll on Christmas Eve. When the doll turns into a Prince, the magic begins and Clara is swept away on an unforgettable adventure. As spell-blinding today as it was when it was performed 120 years ago, this is an ideal introduction to the magic that is classical ballet.
Tchaikovskyās instantly recognisable soundtrack featuring compositions such asĀ theĀ Waltz of the FlowersĀ and theĀ Dance of the Sugar Plum FairyĀ make this one of the most highly accessible and popular ballets.
