Ballet

the royal ballet presents
Experience Peter Wright’s acclaimed production of Giselle, one of the greatest Romantic ballets of all time. Choreographer and director Peter Wright brings Marius Petipa’s timeless tale of betrayal, the supernatural and love that transcends death to the Royal Opera House in a moving, spell-binding production. This is your chance to watch a production so revered it has been danced by The Royal Ballet since 1985.
“Sir Peter Wright's definitive production weaves classical choreography with deep dramatic realism, restoring musical numbers and creating authentic village scenes. The lead role of Giselle is widely considered one of the most demanding in the classical repertoire, requiring immense stamina, technical precision, and raw emotional depth. Dancers seamlessly transition from a fragile, emotional peasant girl in Act I to a weightless, forgiving spirit in Act II.”
