“Even with its vengeful ghosts, Giselle is the ultimate love story. A triumph of classical ballet, the production flourishes under the PNB touch, reminding audiences of the joy and magic of live theater while underscoring the lasting power of true love.” –The Seattle Times

This romantic ballet gem has been updated and staged by Peter Boal for PNB with sumptuous costumes and sets by Jérôme Kaplan. A mountain village in a lush forest becomes the backdrop to love, betrayal, and otherworldly specters in this compelling masterpiece.
