One of the most beloved romantic ballets of all time, The Noorda Center and the Barbara Barrington-Jones Family Foundation are proud to present this acclaimed production as part of our inaugural season. Since its Paris premiere in 1841, Giselle has been an instant triumph with audiences. A love story, a ghost story, and a tale of forgiveness from beyond the grave, Giselle is about a peasant girl who falls in love with a nobleman, not knowing he is betrothed to another. When she finds out the truth, she goes mad and dies, only to become one of the Wilis — ghostly women who have been betrayed and must spend eternity haunting men. See why Giselle remains one of the most enduring masterpieces in the balletic canon with this ethereal production reconceived by Artistic Director Adam Sklute.
