Giselle at the Opera Theatre

Theatrics

Forever lost into the recycling pulp and rushes, call/cast sheets for performances of Giselle disappear after midnight. Striking up a small nuisance, picking up a programme from beyond the velvet rope is simple and all the people in their button-ups so very helpful. Unfortunately, this does not extend into rescuing the simple sheet, now into the ephemeral.

Crossing the path of the stage door, the Borzoi of the performance strut their white and silky stuff. Strange looking dogs, further confirming the feel of the setting of Giselle.

Wonderfully beautiful, a sad tale of a woman who dances beyond her heart's strength and finds her love lost and looking for a way to comfort their extremely brief affair.

Post performance discussion about a severed limb not in keeping with the mood and emotion of the night. A garish reminder that not everyone knows about the darting eyes and scattering brain.
