Giselle - Act 2, the willis - Adolphe Adam (Opéra de Paris)

[@AlwaysOpera]

I will never tire of Giselle, my all-time favorite ballet. This scene in particular gives me the willies (sorry about the pun). Absolutely amazing watching the lines of willis hopping across the stage like that ...

[@johntlew]

It sounds funny but it isn’t. The hopping is Something you don’t see very often

[@КсенияПятаяева]

💯

[@johntlew]

The lines of Willis gets me every time!!!

[@swalea6507]

Same

[@lindamaffezzoni6579]

😿🌸

[@ferdiriordan1]

Never fails to stir and I have watch this scene so many times over the past 40 years.

[@elizzy8754]

Oh yes, with Marie-Agnes Gillot as Myrthe. She is my favourite of all in this role and if I had to pick my absolute three favourite ballerinas overall, she would be No.1.

[@stephanfourie6879]

For me this is still the best recording of giselle out there! Paris opera just knows how to put it together. Im speechless!!

[@janesmith7838]

My favorite ballet scene! I like music of this part and Myrtha's dancing is fantastic! Although heroin is Gigelle, but Myrtha and Willi's dancing is so stirring to me.

[@paulagiliberto7386]

Same to me 😊

[@paulagiliberto7386]

The best Willis I've ever seen! Wonderful 🤩

[@alenkapintar8660]

My favorite ballet ever. The 2.act is the best. Simply perfect dance and beautiful music.

[@tabitadiaz729]

Beautiful ❤❤

[@КсенияПятаяева]

I fully agree with you! The second act is faerie!!

[@latila8376]

Beyond beautiful. Makes my heart explode. Thank God we have ballet, thank God we have giselle.

[@mrsh_2329]

I could (and do) watch this over and over, it is just absolute perfection in dancing.

[@gtrodovine7342]

For me that's the really best Giselle production..

[@ferdiriordan1]

Have you tried Galina Metzenseva as Gizelle-my own personal favorite.

[@marajadeford372]

You should also see Nureyev/Seymore production. Excellent!

[@mathildewesendonck7225]

G Trodovine it’s beautiful, but the orchestra sounds so robotic

[@pameladowe5330]

Truly ethereal, love Giselle!

[@Gaertneringrid]

You are absolute exquisite!!! Well done for all the rehearsing

[@Sheraz_ad]

[@giuliorenzobighin8165]

Ottimo l'apporto figurale del corollario danzante e l Impressione di facilità esecutiva d'acchito da parte della ballerina e di quella levita' resa tensione elanista e motile. Grande senso del continuum della pièce danzante. TUTTI MOLTO BRAVI GLI AGENTI IN PROSCENIO. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO

[@marujaaparicio1009]

Este baile de las Willis es hermoso. Muchas gracias

[@nicolahacking2623]

It's beautiful and Victorian and ghostly.

[@gabrielalopetegui]

Am I EVER going to get bored of Giselle? I don't think so..besides is great for controlling my food intake...as soon as I listen ballet music my stomach closes...stomachal memories from 15 years as a ballet dancer LOL!

[@nicolahacking2623]

They are flying in the night sky!
I see it now.

[@cetkin9741]

All Willis are excellent.

[@reihanb8531]

so beautiful

[@suzannederringer1607]

So well done, and the Myrthe is quite wonderful.

[@elizzy8754]

Marie-Agnès Gillot.

[@bernardoabranches2005]

Muito massa!

[@dancinstevechicago]

This is driving me crazy. What is the ballet term for those traveling arabesques, seen in other ballets as well. I'm sure it has a French name, I just can't think of it. Please help if you know!

[@elliea9207]

“Arabesque chug” or “chug arabesques” is how I’ve seen them referred to!

[@elliea9207]

Also known apparently as voyagè(s)? I’ve never done ballet but have just read that on a forum as I was trying to research.

[@colleenpanega8850]

Where can I get this piece of music?

[@s02229]

Colleen Panega look for the ballet score of Giselle, i think it's act 2 no. 12, near the end

[@jonathanfriedlander8563]

Bolshoi ballet far superior !!

[@MP-uc7pj]

Who is myrtha????

[@solenebazile249]

Marie-Agnès Gillot 🥰

[@janiakowska]

miss Marie Agnès Gilot ! wonderful ballerina

[@siegfried923]

The line crossing is the worst example I have ever seen- messy arms, and legs different heights and not together What has happened to this once great Company with one of its original gems!! Whole act badly under-rehearsed and performed!!

[@andalilo]

Homegirl most upstage, stage left, is really struggling with the shunts, completely off music. In her defence, the tempo is painfully slow, Myrtha was having some trouble with that. Truthfully, the Giselle corps is done much better in North American companies imo.
