Giselle

Giselle is the classic ballet of the Romantic era and, for the dancer performing the title role, one of the greatest challenges in the repertory. Peter Wrights production, a classic itself, perfectly achieves the dual aspects of the ballet, moving from the naivety of young love between Giselle and Albrecht in the village setting of Act I to the ethereal Wilis in Act IIs eerie moonlit forest. Rich in vivid character detail and poignant depth of feeling, Giselle is a reminder of ballets power to move and thrill.
