Giselle

The Dutch National Ballet interprets Adolphe Adam's 1841 ballet "Giselle" in this 2009 production. A dramatic and timeless tale of love, deception, revenge and forgiveness from the Romantic era, the principal dancers in this presentation include Anna Tsygankova in the title role, Jozef Varga as Count Albrecht and Igone de Jongh as Myrtha. Marius Petipa did the choreography and the Holland Symfonia, under the baton of Boris Gruzin, provides orchestral accompaniment. The ballet's combination of dramatic acting, virtuoso technique and ethereal beauty continues to enthrall audiences around the world.
