Summary:

The Bolshoi Ballet troupe in Yuri Grigorovich's version of the romantic masterpiece Giselle. First performed in 1841, Giselle was an immediate hit. With music by Adolphe Adam and a libretto by Théophile Gautier and Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges, the ballet touches on the great romantic themes: local color, a pastoral love affair doomed to end in tragedy, a plunge into fantasy and redemption through the power of love. Composer Adolphe Adam owes his reputation to this archetypal, richly melodic romantic ballet. Starring Svetlana Lunkina in the title role, with Dmitry Gudanov as Albrecht and Maria Allash as Myrtha, Queen of the Wilis.
