It was a splendid production by Ballet Philippines, with Cecile Sicangco in the lead, partnered by the dashing Cuban-born danseur Julio Bocca as Albrecht. The backcloth might have been as unimaginative as a pasteboard Nativity set, but the drama in Act I and the dancing in Act II swept me off my feet. I can still remember Sicangco’s face as her Giselle loses her mind. So, too, Bocca’s effortless leaps into the air.
