MakarovaFan Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Does anyone know the running time of ABT's Giselle? I'm trying to determine what time I should make a dinner reservation post-performance. Thanks! Link to comment
vipa Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Does anyone know the running time of ABT's Giselle? I'm trying to determine what time I should make a dinner reservation post-performance. Thanks! My best guess is a little over 2 hours maybe 2 hrs. 10 or 2 hrs. 15. It's just 2 acts with one overly long intermission. I remember a time when ABT would schedule a short rep piece before Giselle. Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 So do I. "Les Patineurs" was a good match and balance. Link to comment
atm711 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I remember a time when ABT would schedule a short rep piece before Giselle. If my memory still serves me---the first act did not have the peasant pdd at that time. which made for a shorter act and also an 'opener' ballet. Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 By the early '60s, which is when I started regularly attending performances, sometimes it did, and sometimes it didn't. Time seemed ever so much more flexible then, from a scheduling standpoint. Sometimes, I'd be early for the 10:30 out of Grand Central, other times I'd be scrambling for the 11:15 at Port Authority! And this from an 8:00 curtain. Link to comment
Mme. Hermine Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I remember "Allegro Brillante" before Giselle in Boston some years ago. Link to comment
