Night At The Ballet: Giselle

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.
