English National Ballet: Akram Khan's Giselle
English National Ballet: Akram Khan's Giselle
Musical Recorded live at the Liverpool Empire in October 2017, Akram Khan's critically claimed full-length ballet brings Giselle into the 21st century, imagining the titular peasant girl as a migrant worker in a condemned garment factory, who is driven to suicide when she discovers that the man she loves is betrothed to another. Vincenzo Lamagna's score reworks Adolphe Adam's original orchestrations to match Khan's bold vision.
