Giselle is the glittering crown jewel of French Romantic ballet. It’s a quintessential work in which the elegance of classical dance meets the mystical movement language of the spirits, all set against a cloud of delicate tulle. 

The story explores themes of love, betrayal, death and forgiveness, with an emotional depth that has resonated across generations. 

Since its premiere in 1841, the ballet’s timeless beauty has continued to enchant audiences around the world.
