Teatri alla Scala Ballet Company 2024 performed Giselle in Shanghai Grand Theatre–for four consecutive nights, from Mar. 22th to 25th. I bought a front row ticket and went for the first night, and was very lucky to see Nicoletta Manni’s rendition of Giselle.

It was brilliant, and I want to write something about it. Stay tuned for tomorrow.
btw, it was pretty cool that there’s a live orchestra (instead of microphone-played recordings which literally take all the fun away)
