Absolutely beautiful.\n\nThe sets were gorgeous, as was the lighting. The orchestra was spot on as well.\n\nI loved the emotion that Giselle herself portrayed. She had beautiful lines, her technique was nearly flawless, and she seemed to float (even though I could hear the blocks in her pointe shoes). Lovely, really. The core was fabulous. When those 18 ladies came out in act 2 and danced the Wilis part in complete unison....wow. Its really a credit to the choreographer, and the people who run the rehearsals as well as the dancers themselves. My fave parts were the demi soloists in the 1st act and the queen of the Wilis though. Fabulous. Personally, I wasnt impressed w/ the 2 principal men. Their turns were a bit sloppy for my taste, but hey whats that thing they always say? \"Those who cant do, teach. Those who cant teach, review.\" Im a reviewer.\n\nOverall a really stunning performance."^^ . .
