REVIEW: Giselle

Reading Time: 3 minutesAs October casts its enchanting spell, the English National Ballet’s performance of Mary Skeaping’s Giselle at the Liverpool Empire Theatre feels like the perfect embodiment of the season. The production artfully intertwines the celebratory feeling of Oktoberfest in act one at the Rhineland wine festival and act two follows with the ethereal dread of the afterlife mimicking the eeriness of Halloween. This sets the stage for a ballet that demonstrates what happens when you give love your all.
