Giselle at Joburg Theatre

Visits to the theatre don’t get more magical than Joburg Ballet’s sublime Giselle, a richly romantic story of a love so powerful it reaches from beyond the grave, a tale of passion, betrayal and forgiveness showcasing South Africa’s finest dancers in an event of breath-taking beauty you will never forget. Sharing the title role with Joburg Ballet’s own stars will be French principal dancer Anaïs Chalendard who will dance in three of the ten performances during the season. Miss Chalendard made her acclaimed SA debut earlier this year as a guest artist in Joburg Ballet’s The Sleeping Beauty. Giselle will be staged by artistic director Iain MacDonald and ballet mistress Lauren Slade. Australian-based SA ballet luminary Dawn Weller will coach the dancers in the leading roles.
