Giselle 2012

Description
Giselle has deservedly become the jewel in the crown of Romantic Ballet. The sunny realism of the ballet’s beginning is soon shattered, as Giselle loses her mind and succumbs to a tragic death after learning that her beloved Albrecht has deceived her. In the shadowy afterlife, the Wilis, vengeful spirits of brides who died before their wedding day, condemn Albrecht to dance until he dies. But the strength of Giselle’s enduring love triumphs, and protects him until daybreak when the spell is broken. Giselle and the Wilis fade away, leaving Albrecht alone and full of sorrow. Although Giselle has been staged for more than 160 years, the title role is still one of the most sought after in the ballet world – it demands impeccable technical skill, great dramatic flair, and outstanding grace and lyricism.
Choreographers：Jean Coralli; Jules Perrot; Marius Petipa
