After 33 years, the English National Ballet returned to NYC to perform at BAM the acclaimed reimagined version of the iconic ballet, Giselle, by choreographer Akram Khan.

With powerful images and mesmerizing choreography, this performance marked the end of an era, as the Artistic Director, Tamara Rojo, and principal dancer, Isaac Hernández, said their goodbyes to the ENB as they joined the San Francisco Ballet.

“BRAVO TO THE ENTIRE COMPANY… A BEAUTIFUL AND INTELLIGENT REMAKING OF THE BELOVED CLASSIC.”

— The New York Times
