Elite Perk: Tix To Orlando Ballet’s Giselle

Giselle is a great romantic ballet, but it was even more hauntingly beautiful with the addition of the live orchestra!
Before arriving, I didn’t know anything about the story line and didn’t bother looking it up. I wanted to be surprised and sure enough the dancers unfolded the story to me with every movement of their body. I’ve seen other ballets before, but Giselle has to be one of my favorites from Orlando Ballet! There was just so much emotion oozing from the dancer’s that my mind biscuits were baking up a dramatic dialogue in my head. Yes, it was that serious, lol! So, just to recap: live music, easy to follow story line, and strong cast performance are three main reasons why I wouldn’t mind watching this ballet again and again.
Thanks to Unilocal,Andi P., and DPAC for another fun experience!

What a wonderful experience! Thanks Unilocal!
It was a wonderful night at the opening performance of Giselle ballet at the Dr. Phillips Center. I went with my husband, and it was the perfect date, we both had a wonderful time. It was our first time at the new Dr. Phillips Center. The new performing arts center is located in the heart of downtown, and is lit up beautifully. I was a little nervous about parking, but it actually wasn’t too bad, we parked in the City Commons parking garage, which was $ 10. Once parked we took the skybridge over to the Dr. Phillips Center which was pretty easy to get there, I would definitely suggest to getting there early to allow enough time.
Once entering the center, there were many workers offering for us to look around as it was our first time there, the different levels were lit up with a modern feel and each level had coffee to order and snacks/​drinks for purchase.
Overall, the ballet was excellent and all the dancers did a beautiful job. Having done ballet in the past I truly have an appreciation for the ballet. Also the orchestra was wonderful as well, even though we couldn’t see them. I would love to attend other performances at our new performing arts center, it was truly a great treat!
Thank you again Unilocal

As an avid lover of the arts and dancer myself, I can’t help but go into total geek mode over a spectacular performance.
This is my second time seeing the Orlando ballet and they have been nothing but spectacular! The guest dancer that played Giselle was an outstanding dancer. Her performance gave my goosebumps more than once.
Going to see the Orlando ballet here at the Dr. Phillip’s Center is most certainly the whole package. A talented group of dancers, an awesome venue, and reasonably priced refreshments.
I can’t wait to come back and see the Orlando ballet perform again. Thank you Unilocal

A regular girl falls in love with a prince in disguise. No, it’s not Coming to America, it’s Giselle! This was our first time going to see a ballet performance, and Giselle did not disappoint.
This was also our first time at the Dr. Phillips Center. This place is beautiful! The show was in the Walt Disney theater. Our seats were on the mezzanine level, and we had a great view. I liked being able to see the orchestra. And let me tell you, they did their thing!
The Center also has refreshments available for very reasonable prices. I would have expected higher. I would look forward to coming here for more shows.

Thank you, Unilocal,for giving me the opportunity to see my first ballet! What an incredible experience!
We saw the opening night performance of Giselle at the new Dr. Phillips Center for Performing Arts. I first visited this place a few weeks ago to see John Cleese and Eric Idle live. Since we were running late then, I didn’t really have time to soak in how nice of a place this is. Fortunately, we arrived for Giselle with some time to spare, and I got to check out the building. This is a super nice and classy place to see a show. It has a very modern feel to it; even the bathrooms look like something out of Star Trek. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, and of course you can get drinks for the show.
I know Giselle is one of the most popular ballets ever, but I won’t spoil the story for those who don’t know. Needless to say, the dancers were phenomenal. I can’t even imagine how much commitment and hard work they endure to be capable of putting on a show like that for nearly two hours.
At first I thought, «This is cool, but it kind of sucks that they’re performing to a pre-​recorded tape of the music.» I felt like an idiot when I realized that there was an orchestra right there by the stage and they were lowered just enough to be out of the audience’s sight. I finally caught on when I noticed the conductor’s hands waving around and I then had a, «Oh…duh» moment.
Again, thank you Unilocal for this. I’m actually looking forward to attending more performances by the Orlando Ballet on my own! Unilocal rocks!

Stunningly beautiful with extraordinary live orchestra. Beauty and athleticism united as one.
Of course the venue is very clean and very accommodating. Everyone was helpful when I had questions about seating.
Very fortunate to have such a quality venue and local ballet company. I look forward to attending more performances.
Thank you Unilocal for this event. The world needs more art, and more dancing.
Very well done!

First and foremost I would like to thank Unilocal for getting tickets for us to see Giselle. This was a fantastic ballet and my husband and I had a wonderful time.
This ballet is located at the Dr Phillips Center for Performing Arts in Downtown Orlando. It running for 3 nights and we saw the opening night. Our seats were located on the mezzanine in the second row. They were perfect! Our view was fantastic. Even though there was someone in front of me, I could see just fine.
There are two acts both lasting about an hour and a 20 minute intercession in between. Perfect time to grab a drink and use the bathroom. The story is a love story about a girl who falls in love with a noble man. I don’t want to spoil it but it’s good!
I noticed that there lots of empty seats in theatre, probably because it was opening night. I hope that they are all filled for the remaining shows.
Along with the dancers, they had a orchestra located at the edge of the stage but below it. It was pretty neat.
I would definitely recommend seeing this show! Because of Unilocal I have really discovered that I am in love with the Ballet and we try to go to as many as we can! It’s definitely worth checking out!
