Giselle (Recorded 2016) Royal Opera House 2020 Cinema Season
The greatest of all Romantic ballets, Peter Wright's production of Marius Petipa's classic is a tale of betrayal, the supernatural and love that transcends death. Starring Marianela Nuñez and Vadim Muntagirov.
Giselle transformed the dance world when it was first performed in Paris in 1841 and remains at the centre of the classical repertory. Peter Wright's production for The Royal Ballet filmed in 2016 is based on Marius Petipa's classic version which was first staged in St Petersburg in 1884.
The role of Giselle provides the dancer with many technical and dramatic challenges, from the character's early love to her poignant descent into madness and her final gesture of forgiveness from beyond the grave. With its combination of memorable story and exquisite choreography, Giselle is the perfect way to discover classical ballet.
