An unqualified triumph at its first performance in Paris in 1841, Giselle has become one of the most beloved of the great classical ballets. This heartwrenching tale of a lovely peasant girl betrayed in love transports us from the joyful colour of rustic harvest celebrations, to the silvery stillness of the world of the Wilis – the malevolent spirits of forsaken women who will put Giselle’s love to the test.
