I went to this event with my 6 year old niece, brother and his wife. They organized matinee tickets for my nieces school. It was such fun to see these little ones (so many were there) all dressed up to enjoy a Ballet. Music, stage, all was beautifully done. I travel 90% of the time so am glad that I took the time to enjoy this event on one of my days home.

We are so fortunate to have had the American Ballet Theatre's production of Giselle. It was a treat.
Chrysler Hall needs to do something about their parking and exiting after an event...horrible.

It was my first time ever going to a ballet and I was not impressed. I did enjoy it though. It seemed really short... Make sure you get there ON TIME. We were like 5 minutes late (it was raining...) and they had already closed the door so we had to sit on the balcony for the whole first act. Once you get to the actual seats you bought, it can get a little overwhelming (it is ridiculously close) and sometimes it was hard to see towards the back of the stage... a row or two further would not hurt.

I'm so happy I was able to see ABT's performance of Giselle! It isn't often that I'm able to get to a performance by a premier company, and was so pleased to find them on the list for the Arts Festival. I'm a fan of the romantic ballets, and Giselle had it all--love, jealousy, vengeance, great staging and tricky footwork.

Of course I didn't pay much BUT we sat in padded foldaway chairs! We loved the show but in the middle of the show we moved to empty theater seats.

ABT's Giselle is without a doubt , the crowning jewel of the VA Arts Festival. To say that this performance was incredible would be a vast understatement( You can can clearly see that they are true masters of the Cecchetti and Vaganova methods, which are the hallmarks of this wonderful ballet). I had the pleasure of seeing the Saturday night performance. Hee Seo is best Giselle since Alessandra Ferri, and David Halberg was truly breathtaking as Albrecht. It was worth me coming down from NYC for the weekend and I highly recommend ALL to see it. You won't be disappointed!

The dancing, the scenery and the costumes were wonderful, and the orchestra and the music were glorious. The lovely, delicate ballerina who danced Giselle was ethereal and her face and body wonderfully expressive. Her handsome Count was her equal in every way.
However, the dancer who performed as the Queen of the Willis almost stole the show with her fierce, smoldering performance as did the couple who danced during the festival of the grapes. The corps de ballet had the grace and stamina of the premier artists and athletes that they are and I sat there wondering which of them would be the next principal dancer at the ABT.

I saw the ballet with my cousin, and we are both previous dancers. It was nice to see such a traditional dance. My seats were awesome for the price. Performance was very nice, I would definitely spend the money to do it again.
