The Link Ballet of Troy is proud to present one of Michigan's most exciting cultural events this year: the lavish production of the ballet "Giselle."

The ballet is choreographed by Ben Stevenson of the Houston Ballet, who was awarded the Order of the British Empire, and staged by Lauren Anderson, former prima ballerina of the Houston Ballet. Anderson is the world's first and only African-American prima ballerina.

Starring Andrew Murphy of the Houston Ballet and Jennifer Bobo of the Link, "Giselle" bursts gloriously upon the Michigan dance scene, featuring a world-class cast of principal dancers, demi-soloists and corps de ballet.

It is the enchanting tale of innocence, first love, betrayal, disillusionment, madness, death, revenge, forgiveness – and through it all, a mystical beauty of such proportions as has been seldom attempted upon the stage.

Shows are at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 24, at the Clawson High School Auditorium. Tickets are $20 for adults and $12 for children ages 12 and under. For tickets and group sales, call 248-733-0200 or visit artsatthelink.org. Tickets can also be purchased at the door.
