Milwaukee Ballet Artistic Director Michael Pink shares the deeply intentional choice behind pairing Giselle with the Violins of Hope-Wisconsin partnership.
In this video, Pink reflects on how the ballet’s World War II setting in the 1940s, along with its themes of love, betrayal, and loss, resonate powerfully with the history carried by the Violins of Hope instruments.
These violins are rooted in the persecution of the Jewish people and serve as witnesses to lives and voices nearly lost.
Through this production, music, movement, and memory converge to honor those histories and give voice to their enduring legacy.
