    Giselleis the quintessential Romantic ballet. Its title role, one of the most technically demanding and emotionally challenging in the classical repertory, is here danced by Alina Cojocaru, partnered by Johan Kobborg as Count Albrecht. This tale of the transcendental power of love over death is evocatively portrayed through Peter Wright's sensitive staging and John Macfarlane's designs, which beautifully contrast the human and supernatural worlds ­ mastered from a High Definition recording and true surround sound.

    Giselle

    This two-act ballet takes us from joyous mood to terrible drama, following an unmanageable heartbreak for the young Giselle, who at the height of her despondency ends her life at the end of the first Act. When the curtain rises at the start of Act II, we are treated to the most important part of the ballet. The action takes place in a cemetery. The arrival of the Willies, who will punish the man who caused Giselle to lose her mind and enter the realm of the dead. This is a magnificent ballet rendered by the main protagonists and the entire Corps de Ballet. I'm delighted to have seen this grandiose ballet, which makes us reflect on human frailty.
