🍾 Many thanks to Coates & Seely for providing us with the 'fizz' for our opening night. Their sparkling wines are listed in royal palaces and Michelin restaurants - it was a privilege to have these award winning wines at our party. Providing us with soft drinks were Belvoir Farm. Crafted with nature, refreshing and delicious the ingredients certainly did the talking - we would highly recommend the Sparkling Elderflower!

Thank you to both companies for their kind generosity from all of the Giselle team.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank two of our amazing sponsors. Dima's Vodka and Friendship Adventure provided us with the very best of Ukrainian vodka and craft beer for our opening night afterparty. Dima's Ukrainian vodka gets our vote of being the most superior vodka on the market with its velvety smoothness and the Friendship's delicious craft beer was a huge hit.

Thank you from all the cast, crew and production team at Giselle for getting us into the party spirit.

✨ REVIEW... On press night, the role of Giselle was played by Christine Shevchenko, principal at the American Ballet Theatre. Shevchenko’s Giselle is vivacious and has a more extroverted attitude than ballet regulars would usually associate with this character. She is nonetheless graceful in her movements and particularly strong in the key scenes, where emotions are high and lives are at stake. Her suitor, Albrecht was interpreted on the night by Oleksii Tiutiunnyk, whose tall stature and elegance give him a regal stage presence. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Upcoming
