Mad Valentine, Part 4 - Lynn Seymour
Lynn Seymour is our next-to-last Giselle today. This might be my favourite performance, along with Fracci and tomorrow's Giselle. Also, Seymour is the only one whose Giselle kills herself, which I think is an important part of the character.

Singles Awareness Day
In honour of St. Valentine's Day, I am posting different versions of the Mad Scene from "Giselle". Today, we have the great Carla Fracci, in an excellent (but bizarrely filmed) performance with Erik Bruhn.
