World premiere of a new staging of Giselle

Bringing the beauty of classical ballet front and center, San Diego Ballet will debut the world premiere of a new staging of Giselle.

A traditional French ballet set during a wine festival in France, San Diego Ballet’s production by Artistic Director Javier Velasco shifts the locale to early San Diego. Three years in the making, this haunting rumination on romantic love and sacrifice tells the tale of a simple peasant girl whose love for a nobleman sparks tragedy.
