Giselle: “The Wilis”
The Wilis have to work extra hard on their appearance before going on stage to take revenge on men in the forest and making them dance to their deaths! Act two of Giselle requires special hair and makeup, and some of the girls have just a 20-minute intermission to get it all done! Corps member Suzanne Limbrunner talked to some of the Wilis while they were getting ready for show time.
There is still one more chance to see Giselle! MCB performs the romantic classic this weekend at Kravis Center. Click here for more information.
As if my appreciation for this ballet weren't already great enough, this video has taken it to another level. Fascinating behind the scenes look at the hard work that makes it all look so effortless. Thanks ladies.
