Sunday, Bolshoi Ballet:
On Screen at the Peterborough Players, 1:00 p.m.
Yury Grigorovich, music by Adolphe Adam - The young peasant girl
Giselle dies when she learns that the man she loves, Albrecht, has betrayed
her. Against her own will, she joins the wilis, vengeful spirits who now turn
against Albrecht and condemn him to dance until he dies of exhaustion. This
treasure of romantic ballet is one of the oldest and greatest in classical
repertoire, touching upon the great romantic themes: a doomed love affair
ending in tragedy, a dive into fantasy and ultimate redemption through the
power of love. The Bolshoi is renowned for its intimate and emotionally intense
interpretation of this beloved drama. Tickets $20.00 55 Hadley Rd.,
Peterborough NH. peterboroughplayers.org.
