Marius Petipa's Giselle, after Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot — Music by Adolphe Adam

Giselle is in heaven! The young peasant girl is in love with Albrecht, but she is unaware of the latter's secret: he is a nobleman in disguise, and already engaged! Giselle dies of grief when she finds out, and that is when she joins the Wilis. These vengeful spirits, born from the souls of women betrayed by their lovers, enthrall men and bewitch them to dance to death. In the woods and accompanied by her fellow, jilted spirits, Giselle once again meets Albrecht... The Dutch National Ballet's immersive production by Rachel Beaujean and Ricardo Bustamante, with the captivating Olga Smirnova as the title role, sensitively showcases the choreography of Marius Petipa after Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot.
