The ballet Giselle will be screened to a Powys arts centre in March
The Wyeside Arts Centre in Builth Wells will show the Royal Ballet and Opera’s Giselle on Sunday, March 8 at 2pm.
The peasant girl Giselle has fallen in love with Albrecht.
When she discovers that he is actually a nobleman promised to another, she kills herself in despair.
Her spirit joins the Wilis: the vengeful ghosts of women hell-bent on killing any man who crosses their path in a dance to the death.
Wracked with guilt, Albrecht visits Giselle’s grave, where he must face the Wilis – and Giselle’s ghost.
Peter Wright’s 1985 production of this quintessential Romantic ballet is a classic of The Royal Ballet repertory.
Set to Adolphe Adam’s evocative score and with atmospheric designs by John Macfarlane, Giselle conjures up the earthly and otherworldly realms in a tale of love, betrayal and redemption.
The ballet runs for 140 minutes with one interval.
Tickets are £18 for adults and £17 for concessions and all tickets are subject to a £1 administration fee.
