The Moscow Festival Ballet presents Jean Coralli's Giselle, a story of young love, mistaken identity, and the journey of the spirit. Giselle, a peasant girl, has fallen in love with Count Albrécht, who has led her to believe that he is a villager named Loys. Her superstitious mother, Berthe, hoping that Giselle will marry the forester Hilarion, warns her against Loys, to whom she has taken an instinctive dislike. When true identities are revealed, the results are tragic, and mystical. The Moscow Festival Ballet's production maintains the Russian tradition of scrupulous production and loving concern for this gem of the Romantic ballet.
