Giselle at Mariinsky Theatre

Music by Adolphe ADAM Choreography by Jean CORALLI, Jules PERROT and Marius PETIPA with Diana VISHNEVA and Mathieu GANIO

Giselle is the quintessential Romantic classic, a love affair that begins in the real world and continues beyond the grave. The ballet’s title role also offers one of the great challenges of the ballet repertory, as Giselle transforms from an innocent peasant girl, duped into love, to a forgiving spirit who saves her lover from death.
