Giselle is considered to be the romantic ballet par excellence.

Listen to the Music & Opera playlist : 

Since its premiere in Paris in 1841, not only has it never left the stage, but it also laid the foundations for the white ballet with tutus and pointe shoes. The music composed by Adolphe Adam is a marvellous accompaniment to this poignant story of a noble young peasant girl who is abused, dies of grief and is then transformed into Wili. The role of Giselle is one of the most beautiful that all the greatest stars have danced or will dance one day.
