The Royal Ballet (Live from the Royal Opera House, London)

Giselle, a young peasant girl, falls in love with Albrecht, unaware that he is a nobleman betrothed to another woman. Upon discovering the deception, she dies of despair, and her spirit joins the Wilis, vengeful ghosts. Consumed by guilt, Albrecht visits her grave and confronts the supernatural world.

Peter Wright’s 1985 production, with coreography by Marius Petipa, is a classic from The Royal Ballet repertoire.With music by Adolphe Adam and set design by John Macfarlane, Giselle unites love, betrayal and redemption in an iconic Romantic ballet.
