The Boris Eifman Ballet Theatre will present "Red Giselle" at the Alexandrinsky Theatre
This choreographic drama reveals the story of Spessivtseva's life, immersing the audience in the atmosphere of revolutionary St. Petersburg and the heroine's profound experiences through complex and expressive dance movements.
"Red Giselle" is a unique work that combines classical ballet traditions with modern choreographic expression. The production is distinguished by its emotional depth and drama, which allows it to evoke powerful emotions in the audience, compelling them to empathize with the heroine's fate. The ballet explores the themes of tragedy, loneliness, love, and struggle, which were integral to Olga Spesivtseva's life during the difficult era of the Revolution. In December 2025, "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 production features music by composers such as Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Alfred Schnittke, and Georges Bizet.
Tickets for the ballet "Red Giselle" (on tour at the Alexandrinsky Theatre) by the Boris Eifman Theatre are now on sale. This is not just a performance, but a tribute to the memory of Olga Spesivtseva and, at the same time, a summary of the destinies of many talented artists whose destinies were linked to an era of change. This is a chance to immerse yourself in one of the most dramatic chapters in the history of Russian ballet, witness the high artistic skill of the country's finest dancers, and experience the atmosphere of great theatrical art in one of Russia's most prestigious historic theaters.
"Red Giselle" combines naturalism and expressiveness, bringing the audience closer to the heroine's emotional state, her inner experiences, and the drama. The performance utilizes both classical ballet techniques and modern dance techniques. Every element of the production is meticulously crafted—from the choreography to the musical accompaniment and set design—immersing the audience in a rich and atmospheric world.
