ABT’s ‘Giselle’ Returns to Segerstrom Center This Summer
07.16.25
Segerstrom Center for the Arts welcomes the return of American Ballet Theatre’s Giselle this summer, marking the company’s first Orange County summer engagement in more than 15 years. The beloved classic will be performed five times July 24–27, 2025. Tickets are available now at scfta.org.
Staged by Kevin McKenzie with choreography after Jean Coralli, Jules Perrot and Marius Petipa, and set to music by Adolphe Adam, Giselle is a two-act ballet that explores themes of unrequited love, heartbreak, and redemption. The timeless story follows a young peasant girl who falls for a nobleman disguised as a villager. When his betrayal is revealed, Giselle dies of a broken heart—but ultimately returns to save him from supernatural revenge.
American Ballet Theatre’s internationally acclaimed dancers bring the mystery and ethereal beauty of Giselle to life in what The New York Times calls “[ABT’s] best production of a 19th century ballet classic.”

The iconic Hotel del Coronado has completed the restoration of its legendary Victorian building, marking the final chapter in a $550 million revitalization led by Blackstone Real Estate.
The transformation includes refreshed Victorian guest rooms, updated event spaces—including the historic Crown Room—and the return of the hotel’s original garden courtyard, complete with the recreated Naiad Queen Fountain.

This milestone caps off years of enhancements across the property, from new resort neighborhoods and dining venues to upgraded wellness offerings and event spaces—honoring The Del’s rich past while shaping its future.
