Royal Ballet: Giselle
The peasant girl Giselle falls in love with Albrecht, but discovers he is a nobleman promised to another. She kills herself in despair and her spirit joins the Wilis: vengeful ghosts who dance men to their deaths. Wracked with guilt, Albrecht visits Giselle’s grave, where he must face the Wilis and Giselle’s ghost.
Peter Wright’s 1985 production is a classic of The Royal Ballet repertory, set to Adolphe Adam’s evocative score with designs by John Macfarlane.
