“Giselle” is one of the most beloved and iconic ballets of all time — a hauntingly beautiful tale of love, betrayal, and redemption. It tells the story of a young peasant girl who falls deeply in love with a nobleman disguised as a commoner. When she discovers his true identity and deceit, her heart breaks, leading to her tragic death. In the ethereal second act, Giselle returns as a spirit to forgive and protect her repentant lover, creating one of the most moving and poetic moments in the classical ballet canon.
This extraordinary production will be performed by Grand Kyiv Ballet, the most renowned Ukrainian ballet company, under the direction of Oleksandr Stoianov, one of Europe’s leading figures in classical dance. Their interpretation brings a new emotional depth and technical brilliance to this timeless masterpiece.
