Giselle
Adolphe Adam
The romantic ballet, Giselle, first seen in 1841, was the finest of the
ballets staged, in Paris, during the age of Romanticism. Giselle has only
survived through the recognition of its quality and the preservation of
its traditions by the Kirov Ballet, the direct descendant of the Tsar's
St. Petersburg Ballet. This Kirov production offers a choreographic text
and dramatic understanding which are a direct result of this illustrious
connection, which goes back to 1842. The role of Giselle has been compared
to that of Hamlet. She is a simple peasant girl, driven from joy to
madness and destroy the man who betrayed her, while still seeking to
sustain him because of her undying love.
