location - Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham
Friday 1 August - 7.30pm Saturday 2 August - 2.30pm and 7.30pm English Youth Ballet presents an appealing and dramatic production of Giselle set on an English country estate with an ‘upstairs downstairs flavour’ about a young girl who is betrayed by the Prince Albert who is also engaged to Lady Bathilde. This leads to a macabre, ghoulish scene dominated by Wilis who are young women gilted in love and who rise from their graves at night and take revenge on any man who crosses their path.
