Royal Opera House Published on Jan 19, 2015
Natalia Osipova as Giselle and Carlos Acosta as Albrecht in Act II of Peter Wright’s production of Marius Petipa’s Giselle.
Giselle is the quintessential Romantic ballet. It transformed the dance world when it was first performed in Paris in 1841 and remains at the centre of the classical repertory. Although the choreography and designs have undergone many changes over the years, the essence of Giselle remains the same. The Royal Ballet’s production uses Marius Petipa’s classic version (after the original choreography by Jules Perrot and Jean Coralli), first staged in St Petersburg in 1884.
