Bolshoi Ballet: Giselle
Synopsis
Learning that Albrecht, her beloved, is in fact a nobleman engaged to be married to a princess, the naive peasant girl Giselle dies. The Queen of the Wilisâthe spirits of deceased young virginsâdecides that Albrecht should follow Giselle to the grave, and condemns him to dance until he dies of exhaustion. But Giselleâs spirit dances with him and saves him. With music by Adolphe Adam and a libretto by ThĂ©ophile Gautier and Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges, the ballet touches on the great romantic themes: local colour, a pastoral love affair doomed to end in tragedy, a plunge into fantasy and redemption through the power of love.
