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! @ENBallet @AkramKhanLive https://t.co/LvQyaXBZhe

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

@ENBallet OMG! OMG! Akram Khan's Giselle (Sat matinee @PalaceAndOpera) was sensational, I was transfixed, my senses were overwhelmed. A truly wonderful experience, the imagery, the tension, the love, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Quina meravella #GISELLE d'#AkramKhan i @ENBallet al @Liceu_cat!!👏 Genial la coreografia i els ballarins. Però avui l'Orquestra ha estat la veritable protagonista. Excepcional en aquest registre, i amb una força i tensió descomunals que feien tremolar els fonaments. Bravo! 👏❤️ pic.twitter.com/MAtSdD2kRD

Hem hagut d'esperar 2 anys x veure la magnífica versió renovada d #Giselle de l'English National Ballet (@ENBallet), amb coreografia d'Akram Khan i ballada x Tamara Rojo, al @Liceu_cat. Intensa, vibrant, bella, etèria, impecable, sorprenent i molt moderna. ESPECTACULAR ! 👏👏👏 pic.twitter.com/Yd9MSoCDKh

So many revelations, returning to Akram Khan's superb Giselle @ENBallet The Rojo/Streeter/Cirio dynamic so detailed and so fraught; and that final heart wrenching image of Giselle and Myrtha, locked together for a grim eternity.

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
