The peasant girl Giselle falls in love with Albrecht. When she discovers that he is an aristocrat engaged to another woman, she commits suicide in despair.

Premiered in 1985, Peter Wright's production of this quintessentially romantic ballet is a classic in the Royal Ballet's repertoire. Set to the evocative music of Adolphe Adam and set to evocative sets by John Macfarlane, Giselle depicts the material and ethereal realms in a world of love, betrayal, and redemption.
