Adapted from the ballet by Alexa Chipman
A girl falls in love with a disguised prince who betrays her. Brokenhearted, she dies, only to be reborn as an undead Willy bent upon destroying all men. When the prince wanders into the haunted forest, will she choose to save or slaughter him?
Giselle premiered 28 of June, 1841 at The Paris Opera. Composed by Adolphe Adam, choreographed for Carlotta by Jules Perrot, traditional choreography by Jean Coralli. It was one of the first ballets performed fully on pointe in the romantic era. This particular version was based off of that staged by Peninsula Ballet Theatre in the 1980s.
