A Gift for the Ages: The late Sir Anton Dolin staged “Giselle” for The State Ballet of Rhode Island in 1964 with affection for The Marsden Family and with admiration for the work that had been accomplished to date. It premiered in Rhode Island in 1964. At that time, the leading roles of Giselle and Albrecht were performed by the company’s founding prima ballerina Herci Marsden and premiere danseur Myles Marsden along with Anton Dolin, a British dancer, director & choreographer, as Hilarion.
