Giselle is a much-loved romantic ballet in two acts, that shares a story of love and betrayal. The production is choreographed by internationally lauded choreographer Maina Gielgud.

Giselle is an innocent and beautiful peasant girl who loves to dance, and unsuspectingly falls in love with a philandering nobleman, Albrecht. When he deceives her, she is inconsolable and dies of a broken heart. The story continues in the moonlit land of the Wilies, a mysterious landscape inhabited by the vengeful spirits of virgin brides who never reached their wedding day. The ghostly Wilies torment Albrecht as he appears in search of the spirit of Giselle.

Performances are to a recorded score by the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra.
