Message from the Artistic Director

Christopher Anderson| Artistic Director, Alberta Ballet

Few ballets evoke an emotional response like Giselle, the most famous work of the Romantic era. Premiering in 1841, the original concept came from Théophile Gautier, with help from Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges.  

The emotional response to Giselle remains through countless transformations to the story, the characters, the location, and the choreography.  

Our approach to Giselle is inspired by some of the great performances from the early to mid-1900s. These years saw some of the most profound ballerinas dance Giselle, and the essence of those performances are where I feel the heart of this story lives. 

Our Giselles, Albrechts, Hilarions, and Myrthas are all crafting their own relationships and associations with each other, creating unique characterizations and performances that are authentic to them.  

As this world opens to the dancers, who become the characters in the story, the ballet takes on a life of its own. 

Experiencing a new ballet come together remains a marvel - and I am ever grateful for all the artists who make such an accomplishment possible. 

Thank you for being here, and thank you for supporting Alberta Ballet! 

Act 1 

The mood is celebratory in the village with the harvest underway and Giselle is in high spirits. She has met a new arrival in the village, Albrecht, and is delighted to find he is just as enchanted with her as she is with him. Hilarion, a local gamekeeper who seeks Giselle's hand for himself, is frustrated by their relationship and is suspicious of Albrecht. 

Giselle is bright and graceful with a love for dance but has a weak heart. Her mother, Berthe, is fearful that Giselle’s love for dance will be her undoing. Any shock to her heart – be it dancing or heartbreak - could prove Giselle’s demise.    

When a hunting party arrives at the village, with the charming and elegant Princess Bathilde among its members, Hilarion unravels Albrecht’s secret: Albrecht is really a duke who is betrothed to Princess Bathilde. 

Hilarion reveals this knowledge, and the truth shocks Giselle to her core. As she struggles to absorb the stark reality of the deception, her heart gives way, and she dies. 

Act 2 

Giselle has been laid to rest in the forest, which is where we find the Wilis. Known and feared in the villages throughout the region, the Wilis are spirits of young women who have died of heartbreak. They are led by their queen, Myrtha, and this ghostly sisterhood forces wayfarers travelling through the forest to dance to their deaths. 

The Wilis have gathered at Giselle’s grave to initiate her into the group, and when Hilarion arrives, he is ensnared by these spirits and meets his demise. Albrecht faces a similar fate when he visits the grave, but Giselle intercedes. She dances with Albrecht through the night, devising to hold strong until dawn, when the power of the Wilis will wane.  

The end has been one of the most changed elements over the years. In the early morning light, Albrecht is either left alone with memories of his lost Giselle or, following the original telling, is rescued by Princess Bathilde. Which ending will Alberta Ballet reveal on the Jubilee stage?

Giselle Artistic Team

  • Christopher Anderson began his tenure as Alberta Ballet’s Artistic Director in July 2022.

    Before joining Alberta Ballet in 2015, Anderson enjoyed a 16-year career in professional dance. A graduate of Purchase College’s SUNY Conservatory of Dance, he launched his career at Boston Ballet, and two years later was invited to join Salt Lake City’s Ballet West. During his career, he danced leading roles both nationally and internationally and further had several roles created for him by some of today’s most exciting choreographers.

    In 2015, Alberta Ballet offered Anderson a contract as Ballet Master. Anderson was motivated to accept, given the strong talent he saw in the company’s dancers. He retired from professional dance and joined Alberta Ballet’s leadership team. At the end of his first season, he took on an expanded role of Associate Artistic Director.

    Seeing that the company had a strong foundation of contemporary and theatrical works in its repertoire, Anderson chose to set classics for his first full-length works for Alberta Ballet. He premiered Cinderella in 2017 and The Sleeping Beauty in 2018 and Swan Lake in 2021. In 2019, he also premiered a contemporary one-act Sixth Breath (2019).

  • Christiana is in her sixth season working as part of Alberta Ballet’s artistic team. Previous to her position as Rehearsal Director at Alberta Ballet, she was a Principal dancer with Ballet West for 16 years. While dancing with Ballet West, Bennett was given the opportunity to dance throughout the United States, Europe and Asia where she was met with international acclaim. Some of her favourite ballets to perform were Swan Lake, Balanchine’s Diamonds and Serenade, Ben Stevenson’s Cinderella, Nicolo Fonte’s Bolero, Jiri Kylian’s Sinfonietta, William Forsythe’s In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated and Aszure Barton’s Happy Little Things. Christiana also had many roles created for her by choreographers such as Matthew Neenan, Nicolo Fonte, Helen Pickett, Val Caniparoli, Christopher Anderson, Garrett Smith and Charlotte Boye-Christensen.

    As a native of Massachusetts, most of her training was along the Eastern seaboard at prestigious schools. However, she attributes her career to the training received at Pacific Northwest Ballet School under the tutelage of Francis Russell.

  • After her fourteen-year career as a dancer with Alberta Ballet, Reilley transitioned into the role of Artistic Coordinator and has now been promoted to Rehearsal Director. She is excited to help behind the scenes and share the knowledge that she has gained while working with our organization.

    Originally born in Eatonville, WA, USA, Reilley trained at both Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle and at Canada’s National Ballet School in Toronto. She joined Alberta Ballet as a dancer in 2008, and has since made Canada her home, becoming a dual citizen in 2019. Some of her most memorable roles with Alberta Ballet have been as Madame de Tourvel in Jean Grand-Maître’s Dangerous Liaisons, and Queen Anne in David Nixon’s Three Musketeers.

  • Adolphe Adam (July 24, 1803 – May 3, 1856) was a French composer and music critic. A prolific composer of operas and ballets, he is best known today for his ballets Giselle (1844) and Le Corsaire (1856, his last work), his opera Les Toréadors (AKA Le toréador ou L'accord parfait) (1849), and his Christmas carol O Holy Night (1847). Read more here.

  • Peter Farmer (1941–2017) was a leading figure in British theatre design. His many designs for The Royal Ballet included Giselle (1971), Winter Dreams (1991) and The Sleeping Beauty (1973). Farmer designed for most of the major ballet companies in the world, including the Royal Ballet, London Festival Ballet, London Contemporary Dance Theatre and the Dutch National Ballet, among others. Born in Luton, England, Farmer designed for theatre and ballet from the 1960s including designs for The Sleeping Beauty (Munich Opera House), The Three Musketeers (Australian Ballet), Swan Lake (Royal Winnipeg Ballet and Hong Kong Ballet), and Cinderella for the Cincinnati Ballet. His work is well known around the world, having designed for more than 20 different Ballet and theatre companies over his career. Farmer’s most recent work is on display for the English National Ballet at Royal Albert Hall, London in which Farmer created a brand new Nutcracker in 2011. Farmer had collaborated on numerous occasions with Robert Cohan and Robert North for London Contemporary Dance Theatre. Some of their work includes Cohan’s Stages, No-Man’s Land and Metamorphoses and Crescendo. His work alongside North include Meeting and Parting, David and Goliath and Troy Game.Farmer was a painter and designer, with a keen understanding of how to balance grand stage designs for the entire audience. Farmer created intimate scenes and costumes for the leads which allowed dancers great freedom of movement, and elegantly showed off the choreography.

Your Gift is Needed

Did you know that Alberta Ballet relies on multiple income streams to bring these incredible performances to the stage?

Donations are at the very heart of our funding. As a registered charity, Alberta Ballet relies on donations to bridge the shortfall to perform in the Jubilee, create new works and attract the best talent. As stewards of a rarified art form, we face a delicate balance, and ticket prices only get us part of the way there. Donations make it possible for us to deliver the art you love. ​

Conceived during the pandemic, Alberta Ballet created an Endowment Fund to provide more financial stability in the years to come. When our goal of $15 million is reached, the Endowment Fund will start providing consistent, predictable disbursements that will help us bring seasons like this one to life. It will also help Alberta Ballet be a haven for Albertans to connect with each other and themselves whether they are deeply moved in our audience, taking their first step into a community dance class, or pursuing their craft through professional dance training.  

Dance has the power to unite communities and transform lives through inspiration. Please consider making a one-time or recurring donation today.
