Classical Ballet and Opera House Presents
Giselle - A Romantic Ballet in which love triumphs over betrayal
Music by Adolphe Adam
Featuring live Orchestra with over 30 musicians
The gravely ill peasant girl Giselle falls in love with the handsome Prince Albrecht, who has been unfaithful to her. When jealous rivals claim her fiancé, the heartbreak is too much for her to bear. Weakened by her ill health and driven mad by despair, Giselle takes her own life.
After her funeral Prince Albrecht visits her grave. The spirits of women betrayed before their wedding days return to take revenge on their philandering fiancés by dancing them to death. Only Giselle’s powerful love saves the remorseful Albrecht from this cruel fate, proving that love can conquer all – even death.
Giselle remains one of the most celebrated classical ballets!
