TEXAS METROPOLITAN BALLET

From Old World to New...

TMB's Spring Gala Production will transport you across the realms to our streamlined one-hour version of Giselle. The tragic, romantic story of a peasant girl, Giselle, who falls in love with Duke Albrecht disguised as a peasant, Loys.  Already betrothed to Bathilde, a lady of the court, Giselle discovers Albrecht's treachery, goes mad and dies of a broken heart.  But as a spirit, she is able to protect Albrecht from the Wilis - vengeful spirits of women abandoned by their lovers determined to kill wayward men.  Repentant Albrecht is saved and Giselle's spirit can rest in peace.

The second half of the production is devoted to a classical, neo-classical, contemporary mix of other dances.

Join us in this presentation that brings the entire academy to the stage as they perform famous choreography from the classic tale of Giselle encapsulated in a single act followed by original choreography full of fun and passion from director Randall Marks.
