A short series celebrating the work of great choreographers. Mats Ek's Giselle
Tonight, another chance to see Swedish choreographer Mats Ek's production of Giselle.
Though keeping the familiar Adolphe Adam music of the 19th-century ballet, Ek has discarded the usual setting in a romantic Rhineland village with dead spirits in a woodland glade.
