Romantic ballet in 2 acts

Music Adolphe Adam
Libretto: Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Théophile Gautier.
Choreography: Jean Coralli, Jules Perrot, Marius Petipa

Giselle is considered the archetype of the Romantic ballet, the culmination of an era in which magical creatures, ghosts and fairies populated the dance scenes and in which the ideal image of the ballerina, in a delicate tutu floating on lace, was forever stamped.

Interpreting the role of Giselle is the dream of every dancer. An exhibition is currently being held on the history of this great ballet, the most romantic and famous of all ballets. "Giselle' is one of the most famous ballets in the history of dance. For 160 years, it has been performed regularly in every country in the world. The work is still one of the most successful ballets, offering the audience, with its second "white act", the quintessence of romantic ballet, with impeccable technique, strictly geometric forms of the corps de ballet and seemingly weightless dancers.
