The Boris Eifman Ballet Theatre will present "Red Giselle" at the Alexandrinsky Theatre

This choreographic drama tells the story of Olga Spessivtseva, transporting audiences to revolutionary St. Petersburg and allowing them to experience her inner world through complex and expressive dance. "Red Giselle" is a unique work that harmoniously blends classical ballet traditions with modern choreographic techniques. The production stands out for its emotional intensity and drama, allowing audiences to deeply empathize with the fate of the main character. The ballet explores themes of tragedy, loneliness, love, and struggle—all of which Spesivtseva faced during the turbulent times of the Revolution.

In December 2025, the ballet "Red Giselle" will be presented at the Alexandrinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. Performances will take place on December 22 and 23 on the theatre's historic stage. The musical accompaniment will include works by composers such as Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Alfred Schnittke, and Georges Bizet.
