Now that you have met all of this year's distinguished honorees,
please meet one of America's finest dance companies appearing on our
gala performance.

Houston Ballet will perform the Act II Pas de Deux from Giselle.

Founded in 1955, Houston Ballet is one of the jewels in the crown of
America's greatest national dance companies. Former Royal Ballet
dancer Ben Stevenson served as artistic director from 1976-2003,
establishing a core of permanent choreographers whose works have
greatly enriched the company's repertory. In 2003, Australian dancer
and choreographer Stanton Welch assumed the leadership, and has
choreographed thirteen works for the company. Under the
administrative leadership of managing director Cecil C. Conner since
1995 (C.C. also serves on the board of Career Transition For
Dancers), Houston Ballet has taken the lead in arranging
collaborations with other major American ballet companies to nurture
the creation of new major productions. Over the last ten years, the
company has performed in London, New York, Hong Kong, Los Angeles,
Toronto, MontrÉal, The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and at
the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. We are pleased and proud to have
artists from Houston Ballet performing at our 26th Anniversary
Jubilee. -

LOVE. PASSION. BETRAYAL. DEATH. FORGIVENESS: Act II Pas de Deux from
Giselle. First performed at the Paris
Opera in 1841, Giselle is considered the finest of the Romantic
ballets. It was inspired by a passage in Heine's "De l'Allemagne"
describing the legend of betrothed girls who died before their
wedding day and return as Wilis (spirits of the dead) to dance in the
misty moonlight. In the first act of this ballet, Giselle, a country
girl, dies of a broken heart after discovering that her lover,
Albrecht, a nobleman, has deceived her. In the second act, Giselle
rises from the grave as a Wili and dances with her beloved Albrecht
to save his life. As the dawn breaks, Giselle forgives Albrecht and
she returns to her grave. Albrecht's life is spared.

This ballet makes the utmost demands on the dramatic and technical
abilities of a ballerina. For over 170 years, the world's supreme
ballerinas have danced this role, including the legendary Romantic
ballerinas of the mid 1800's: Grahn, Cerrito and Elssler. Other world
renowned ballerinas who have performed Giselle include: Pavlova,
Karsavina, Spessivtseva, Ulanova, Fonteyn, Markova, Fracci, Kirkland,
Makarova, Vishneva and Ferri.
