ABOUT THE EVENT

Adolphe Charles Adam's ballet Giselle is one of the first large ballets of the romantic period, and one of the few works of that era to have survived to the present day. Enjoy this timeless performance at the Latvian National Ballet this season.

An idyllic country village is the setting for a naïve girl's first love and her eventual betrayal, which is followed by madness and death. After she dies, Giselle enters a painfully beautiful world populated by lovely wilis, the souls of dead virgins who, at night, make men dance to their deaths. But in the end, the power of love overcomes even death.
