Giselle is the performance that became the symbol of the romantic ballet of the 19th century and has not lost its charm over years.
Young Giselle learns about the betrayal of her beloved, loses her senses and dies of grief. She becomes one of the Wilis, the brides who died before the wedding. The Wilis come to the human world at midnight, and a man, who happens to meet them late at night, becomes their victim. The ghosts make him dance to death. However, the pure love of Giselle to Albrecht saves him from the fatal dance.
Lviv National Opera presents Mykyta Dolgushyn production of the ballet.
