A haunting love story.

Step into the enchanting yet haunting realm of Giselle, where themes of love, loss, and redemption intertwine in a breathtaking narrative.

Follow the heart-wrenching journey of Giselle, a young peasant girl whose world shatters when she uncovers the shocking betrayal of her beloved Albrecht. Overwhelmed by despair, she succumbs to a broken heart and rises from her grave to join the ethereal Willis—vengeful spirits who ensnare and torment unsuspecting men. As the Willis capture Albrecht and condemn him to dance until his demise, it is Giselle’s enduring love that protects him and ultimately sets him free.

Experience one of ballet’s iconic romantic ghost stories—a timeless tale that explores the depths of love, the pain of betrayal, and the intensity of passion. Embrace the magic and tragedy of Giselle, and let its powerful emotions touch your heart.
