Giselle in HD January 1, 2013

Noted as one of the most influential of all Romantic ballets, Giselle tells the tale of the power of a woman’s love in the face of betrayal. Giselle features choreography by Marius Petipa and a magnificent score by Adolph Adam. Peter Wright’s sensitive staging in the atmospheric designs by John Macfarlane heightens the contrast as the story moves between the human and supernatural worlds.
This production from the Royal Ballet stars Critics Circle National Dance Award-winner Marianela Nuñez in one of the most technically demanding and emotionally challenging roles in classical dance along with fellow winner Rupert Pennefather as Albrecht.
