My first time to see Giselle, and I'm so glad it was this company. The story was beautifully told, the dancing was superb, and the lead performers were out of this world. I can't honestly say I knew what to expect. The music isn't as memorable as Tchaikowski's scores, but it is incredibly atmospheric, and coupled with the brilliant choreography, this was a performance to remember.

I attended this production in Buxton. Buxton Opera House has a notoriously steep rake stage but this did not deter the dancers and the performance wonderful. I first saw Giselle in London in 1962 danced by Margot Fonteyne and a relative newcomer Nureyev - it too was wonderful. It brought back memories, but, for me, the youthfulness of the dancers, especially Giselle, was a treat to be remembered for very many years. I also attended the Varna Ballet's productions of Swan Lake and Coppelia, both in Buxton and both excellently produced and danced - thank you Varna International Ballet.

We have seen many Giselle productions,this was as good as any .The dancing of the two leads was exceptional.Giselle’s grave was a bit tacky and bright,the rest of the scenery worked .

I don’t want to sound rude, but we didn’t enjoy. Last Theatre La Boheme and Swan Lake it was amazing and something wow! We think performers weren’t good enough for this one just something didn’t look right… sorry about the review but it’s our personal review.
