Giselle by Hong Kong Ballet
The Hong Kong Ballet (HKB) presents a new production of Giselle, starring a lineup of world-renowned guest dancers and accompanied by the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong under the baton of Fayçal Karoui. HKB’s artistic director Septime Webre and South African ballet artist Charla Glenn team up to breathe new life into this story of love, betrayal, and redemption, for nine performances only at the end of this month.
This new show will feature beautiful costumes and sets by the designer Jérôme Kaplan, including a castle inspired by the Château de Pierrefond and cottages modeled after Marie Antoinette’s Hameau de la Reine hamlet at Versailles. Giselle is to be staged on Fridays to Sundays from May 30 to June 8 at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
