Giselle is in love with the handsome Duke Albrecht, but when she discovers that he has deceived her she dies of a broken heart. By Giselle’s grave in a mist-wreathed forest glade, vengeful spirits of abandoned brides force men to dance to their death. Giselle returns as a ghost, and her deep love for Albrecht saves him from this fate.

Adolphe Adam’s music, played by English National Ballet’s symphony orchestra, is an exquisite accompaniment to the thoroughly magical choreography.

'This Giselle is light and clear as a stream, beautifully danced, emotionally alive' The Daily Telegraph

'The best Giselle you are ever likely to see…the first that has moved me to tears' The Independent on Sunday

'This was a thrilling and profound performance which bypasses precise technical analysis. Enough to say, perhaps, that when the curtain fell, several people near me were in tears… a very rare alchemy indeed.' The Observer

'You can’t beat a good classic danced by such stars' The Times -- www.eno.org
