2009 Spring Performance - Giselle
One of the most beautiful and romantic of all the classical ballets first conceived in 1841. Giselle is a young peasant girl with a weak heart and passion for dancing. Betrayed by her love, Count Albrecht, and heartbroken, Giselle goes mad and dances to her death only to be summoned from her restful grave by Myrtha Queen of the Wilis. Albrecht full of remorse, is captured by Myrtha and the Wilis while visiting Giselle’s grave. Still deeply in love with Albrecht, Giselle appears and begs Myrtha to spare his life. Unmoved and merciless Myrtha condemns Albrecht to dance to his death. Exhausted, Albrecht collapses to the sound of distant bells signifying the approach of dawn. With the break of dawn the Wilis and their powers fade with the night. Albrecht, safe and forgiven by Giselle, sees her vanish into her grave. Giselle is a timeless story of love, betrayal, heartbreak, remorse and vengeance.
