Captured live at the Grand Theatre of Havana, this October 31, 1980 performance of Giselle features prima ballerina assoluta Alicia Alonso and distinguished Russian dancer Vladamir Vasiliev performing together for their very first time. A first-rate supporting cast truly brings the story alive on stage, and an unforgettable performance by the world renowned corps de ballet of the Ballet Nacional de Cuba makes this a release that all opera fans will treasure. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
