Ballets by Adolphe Adam

Ukraine's Odessa National Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet will perform "Giselle," a quintessential Romantic ballet, at the Athens Concert Hall (Megaron, Vassilisis Sofias & Kokkali) on September 19. Composed by Adolphe Adam and first staged in 1841, "Giselle" features dramatic choreography centered on themes of eternal love.

Akram Khan's critically acclaimed production of "Giselle" for the English National Ballet, is coming to computer screens in Greece from the Christmas Theater on February 19-22. In this modern version of the romantic 19th century ballet, the acclaimed choreographer injects this tale of love, betrayal and redemption with elements of kathak, a traditional South Asian dance form.

The Istanbul State Opera Ballet Modern Dance Theater (MDTIst) is celebrating its 7th anniversary with a reinterpretation of the classic ballet "Giselle." The new version of the ballet, "Jizel," is choreographed by Aysun Aslan.
