Opera of the month: Giselle
Firstperformed in Paris in 1841, Giselle is a romantic ballet in two acts, composed by Adolphe Adam. Set in a bucolic landscape, a young girl dies of love and metamorphoses into a spirit that haunts the forest. Taken in by the Wilis, she enters an immaterial world where dance is the language of the soul.
Her lover Albrecht, distraught, pursues this ghost at the risk of his life. The ballerinas, with their airy presence, play with him as much as with gravity.
The opera house is located at Opera Garnier Place de la Opéra 75009 Paris.
