Giselle

Let your imagination soar with this two-act ballet! Giselle debuted in the romantic era and was first performed by the Ballet du Théâtre de l'Académie Royale de Musique at the Salle Le Peletier in Paris, France on Monday, 28 June 1841.

The ballet is about a peasant girl named Giselle, who dies of a broken heart after discovering her lover is betrothed to another. The Wilis, a group of ghostly women who entrance men to dance until death, summon Giselle from her grave. They target her lover for death, but Giselle's great love frees him from their grasp. A gorgeous performance with live music - audiences of all ages will be entranced by the artistry of the Centennial State Ballet performers!

Performed by your local youth ballet company. Choreography by Stephanie Tuley, after Petipa, and composed by Adolphe Adam. Accompaniment by the Centennial State Ballet Chamber Orchestra at Niwot High School Auditorium.
