Just seen this in Manchester, truly outstanding, I’m genuinely lost for words. Emma Hawes otherworldly as Myrtha, Queen of the Wilis. An amazing experience in so many ways, wonderful!

Saw this yesterday in Manchester. Spellbinding music and dance bringing to life a powerful storyline. Just brilliant! Not a dry eye in the house.

I didn’t realise how much I needed Akram Khan’s new production of ‘Giselle’. Truly inspirational and moving. Theatre that dares to be visionary, dark, and silent. It’s reminded me that #theartswillalwayssurvive @AkramKhanLive @belrumore @ENBallet

I had the most beautiful experience watching @ENBallet Giselle at @PalaceAndOpera . To see the classical ballet reimagined by the phenomenal @AkramKhanLive was a memory that will stay with me. Every movement & every moment was a joy to encounter. It was a haunting masterpiece ~x~ pic.twitter.com/BULIxSyFWS

Tremendous opening last night for @DublinDanceFest from @ENBallet with Akram Khan's Giselle. Electric choreography, score, performances from the company of 40 dancers & @rte_co. Class division, oppression, love, betrayal and yearning – all there. #DDF18 https://t.co/xq2jLUmTNv
