Romantic masterpiece GISELLE with the Royal Swedish Ballet

The ballet classic Giselle has been a gem on the romantic dance repertoire since it premiered in Paris in 1841. With its beautiful music and strong narrative with both realism and supernatural elements it is a timeless masterpiece in tulle and pointe. Natalia Makarova’s acclaimed production, created specifically for the Royal Swedish Ballet, now returns.

The peasant girl Giselle falls in love with Albrecht, but he is a count and already engaged to the noble Bathilde. Giselle dies of a broken heart and becomes a wili, a mythological female apparition. The vengeful wilis dance at night together with their queen when a repentant Albrecht comes to mourn Giselle. But the price he will pay for a last dance with his beloved is high.
