GISELLE opens State Street Ballet’s 2023 / 2024 season in true Santa Barbara style, accompanied by the Santa Barbara Symphony. This love story for the ages, haunted by the spirits of maidens doomed to dance through darkness, will take you on a journey through a kaleidoscope of emotions. From joyous celebration to betrayal and the redemption of tender forgiveness, GISELLE is a richly rewarding entertainment experience that will warm your soul.
Choreography by Jean Coralli, Jules Perrot, and Marius Petipa • Music by Adolphe Adam • Conducted by Nir Kabaretti
