English National Ballet
Giselle by Mary Skeaping
London Coliseum
11 – 21 January 2024
English National Ballet will perform Giselle by Mary Skeaping at the London Coliseum from 11-21 January 2024.
One of the great Romantic ballets, this celebrated production, with its classical language, features some of ballet’s most dramatic scenes and otherworldly images. Adolphe Adam’s lush score is performed live by English National Ballet Philharmonic.
Lead Principals, Sangeun Lee, Emma Hawes and Shiori Kase will make their debut in the title role. Lead Principals Aitor Arrieta and Francesco Gabriele Frola, First Soloist Gareth Haw, Soloist Fernando Carratalá Coloma and Junior Soloist Vsevolod Maievskyi, debut as Albrecht. First Soloist Junor Souza, Soloist Erik Woolhouse, Junior Soloist Henry Dowden, and First Artist Giorgio Garrett perform the role of Hilarion for the first time. Soloist Precious Adams, Junior Soloists Anna Nevzorova and Emily Suzuki and First Artist Angela Wood, debut in the role of Myrtha.
English National Ballet has offered audiences the chance to see two versions of Giselle this season, with Akram Khan’s reimagining having been performed on tour by the Company in Manchester and Bristol in autumn 2023.
Giselle follows English National Ballet’s performances of Nutcracker (14 December 2023 – 07 January 2024), also at the London Coliseum.
