S4E2: Giselle

Happy Halloween! In advance of the Fort Wayne Ballet's performance of Giselle, Jim and Karen talk about the ethereal nature and gruesome mythology behind Romantic era ballets.

Show Notes

In the spirit of the season, and of Romantic period ballets in general, Giselle is a gracefully portrayed tale of death and restless spirits. Jim Sparrow and Karen Gibbons-Brown sit down to discuss the upcoming performance of the show and talk about the bleak European mythology behind its story.
