A vintage performance that allows the audience to enter the mysterious, haunting world of Giselle. Birgit Keil and Richard Cragun lead a cast rooted in Stuttgart’s celebrated dramatic ballet tradition, with choreography by Marcia Haydee and music by Adolphe Adam. The corps de ballet is striking as the Wilis; ghostly spirits of young women who died before marriage, destined to lure men into a dance to their death. An unforgettable performance, moving with ethereal precision as the story unfolds.
