Maina Gielgud’s critically acclaimed production will return to Melbourne for the first time since 2006, before heading to Sydney, Canberra and Adelaide – touring to more capital cities than any other ballet in the company’s season.
First premiering in Paris in 1841, over two acts, Giselle follows the story of a village girl who falls in love with a man who is not all he seems. When she finds out his deception, she dies of a broken heart. Transformed into a spirit, she battles to save her lover in the woods, haunted by the ghosts of jilted women.
