Experience the quintessential Romantic ballet in Peter Wright’s atmospheric and bewitching production.<br><br>The peasant girl Giselle has fallen in love with Albrecht. When she discovers that he is actually a nobleman promised to another, she kills herself in despair. Her spirit joins the Wilis: the vengeful ghosts of women hell-bent on killing any man who crosses their path in a dance to the death. Wracked with guilt, Albrecht visits Giselle’s grave, where he must face the Wilis – and Giselle’s ghost. <br>Peter Wright’s 1985 production of this quintessential Romantic ballet is a classic of The Royal Ballet repertory. Set to Adolphe Adam’s evocative score and with atmospheric designs by John Macfarlane, Giselle conjures up the earthly and otherworldly realms in a tale of love, betrayal and redemption.<br><br>Creatives: <br>Choreography MARIUS PETIPA after JEAN CORALLI and JULES PERROT<br>Music ADOLPHE ADAM Edited by LARS PAYNE<br>Conductor VELLO PAHN<br>Scenario THÉOPHILE GAUTIER after HEINRICH HEINE<br>Production and Additional Choreography PETER WRIGHT<br>Designer JOHN MACFARLANE<br>
