Would you die for love?
One of ballet’s greatest love stories, the haunting Giselle arrives this October to the Tulsa Performing Arts Center. When a young woman is betrayed by her fiancé and dies brokenhearted, she rises from the grave to save her beloved from the revenge of other scorned women.
Accompanied live by the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra, Tulsa Ballet presents Giselle for the first time in 15 years. You won’t want to miss this stunning tale of the power of love!
STORY
Giselle, an innocent peasant girl, has her heart fatally broken when she discovers the man she fell in love with is the disguised Duke Albrecht, who is betrothed to another. As moonlight settles on Giselle’s grave she is summoned by Myrtha, Queen of the Wilis.
These female spirits, all abandoned before their wedding day, rise from their graves at night to seek revenge upon men by dancing them to death. Giselle must decide to either join the Wilis in their eternal search for vengeance, or allow her love to forgive Albrecht.
Eerie and tragically romantic, this masterwork ballet was instantly popular when it debuted in 1841, and continues to be one of the most often performed classical ballets in the world.
