American Ballet Theatre's Giselle

A ballet in two acts, Giselle masterfully conveys the heartbreaking story of unrequited love, devasting loss, and triumphant forgiveness. A heart-wrenching saga of love and mercy, Giselle tells the story of a young peasant 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 and is already betrothed to another. When the truth is revealed, she dies of a broken heart, but ultimately returns from the grave to forgive her lover and save him from a vengeful death by the forest-dwelling Wilis. (The Wilis also provide one of the most gorgeous scenes with the full corps de ballet in all of dance!)

In this universally acclaimed production, ABT’s unrivaled roster of international ballet stars brings Giselle’s mystery and ethereal beauty to vivid life. Experience this timeless tale in an exquisite performance by one of the world’s best companies!
