A ballet that defines Romanticism, reintroduced for today.
Giselle opens Alberta Ballet’s 2026/27 Season with a work that has shaped the classical tradition for generations. In this newly staged production by Artistic Director Francesco Ventriglia, after the original choreography of Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot, the ballet’s emotional clarity and poetic restraint come to the forefront.
Across two contrasting worlds, innocence gives way to heartbreak, and love reveals its quiet resilience. Set to Adolphe Adam’s enduring score, Giselle remains a profound exploration of devotion, loss, and grace — a beginning that honors where ballet has been and gestures toward where it continues to go.
