The peasant girl Giselle has fallen in love with Albrecht. When she discovers that he is actually a
nobleman promised to another, she kills herself in despair. Her spirit joins the Wilis: the vengeful
ghosts of women hell-bent on killing any man who crosses their path in a dance to the death.
Wracked with guilt, Albrecht visits Giselle’s grave, where he must face the Wilis – and Giselle’s ghost.

Peter Wright’s 1985 production of this quintessential Romantic ballet is a classic of The Royal Ballet
repertory. Set to Adolphe Adam’s evocative score and with atmospheric designs by John Macfarlane,
Giselle conjures up the earthly and otherworldly realms in a tale of love, betrayal and redemption.
