Giselle

Synopsis: Toa Fraser directs this stunning film version The Royal New Zealand Ballet’s universally acclaimed production of Giselle.

Aroview: While the Met Opera and National Theatre have established international brands and reputations to lead them, Toa Fraser’s GISELLE has something else — it works as cinema. Beautifully shot by ace Leon Narbey and his team of dedicated cinematographers — like Scorsese’s Rolling Stones film SHINE A LIGHT, Narbey insisted that every camera operator be a first-rate shooter in his own right —GISELLE showcases the sublime performances of principals Gillian Murphy and Qi Huan as well as Kendall Smith’s beautiful lighting. ~ Dan Slevin
