Giselle is the tale of a peasant girl whose true love for a nobleman is not realized until her death. In her final moments, Giselle is transported to the moonlit land of the “Wilis,” vengeful spirits of brides who have died before their wedding day. With its sense of mystery, undying love and redemption, Giselle is the “quintessential romantic ballet.”
The oldest continually-performed ballet in history, Giselle, first premiered on June 28, 1841 at the Theatre de l’Academie Royale de Musique in Paris, with choreography by Coralli and Perrot. Since then, Giselle has become a foundational work of the world’s most prestigious classical ballet companies. Giselle was first presented by IBT in 2004.
