The Elegance series is a collection of breathtaking ballet performances from internationally renowned companies, featuring our beloved dance stars. The series presents productions by today's greatest choreographers and, of course, the legacy of the legendary Marius Petipa. "My version of the ballet Giselle is an attempt to retell the story. For me, Giselle—and this also applies to the old ballet—is about love. Love that, in the old version, conquers death. In my version, it is different. But love is still the main theme." Mats Ek
