Description
The Ballet Called Giselle by Cyril W. Beaumont First published in 1944, this book remains an authoritative work on the Romantic Ballet masterpiece, Giselle. It is divided into two parts: the first explores the evolution of the Romantic Ballet and provides a detailed description of the original 1841 production, including its settings, costumes, and creators. The second part examines the stage action, breaking down the steps, gestures, and their meanings, as well as the interpretation of the roles. The book concludes with a survey of dancers who gained fame for their performances as Giselle and Albrecht. This in-depth analysis provides valuable insights into the ballet's technical and critical aspects, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and performance of this iconic work. By examining both the original production and its subsequent interpretations, Beaumont's book offers a comprehensive understanding of Giselle, a true masterpiece of the Romantic Ballet.
