Giselle: Alessandra Ferri coaches Katja Khaniukova ("Giselle")

Alessandra Ferri coaching Katja Khaniukova for "Giselle": feelings, feelings... and thinking about the Vienna State Opera’s future (Miss Ferri is taking over the Ballet Direction in the Season 2025/26), I cam only say: Happy days are here again!

I would like to use ENB’s Statement about Miss Ferri: “Now in the midst of our Giselle performances here is a look back at those golden moments when the extraordinary Alessandra Ferri transformed the studio into her canvas and coached Katja Khaniukova. A masterclass we're still in awe of!”

I am extremely glad to see once more so much care to and with ART and its delicacies and details... Unfortunately, during the last years, we have been mostly witnessing observations about "physical technicalities" which are so "en vogue" nowadays and not only neglect what is most important but turn the dancers into a caricature of what people (who do not understand much about dance) think of it as a "prototype".

I'll leave you with that!
