Ballet Festival: Giselle

The orchestra opens the year with French composer Adolphe Adam’s ‘Giselle’, coinciding with the ballet’s 175th anniversary. ‘Giselle’ is the quintessential Romantic classic, the one to see and know. The MPO and Moscow Ballet tell the tale of Giselle, a peasant girl who poignantly descents into madness and death after discovering that her lover is promised to another.
