Ballet’s ultimate tale of love, loss, and forgiveness, Giselle is a timeless favorite. A heart-wrenching saga of unrequited love and redemptive mercy, the ballet tells the story of the titular village maiden in love with a handsome villager named Albrecht. What Giselle does not know is that her new paramour is a young nobleman in disguise who is already betrothed to another. When the truth is revealed, she dies of a broken heart, but returns from the grave to forgive her lover and save him from death by the forest-dwelling Wilis, the vengeful spirits of jilted brides.
