The story brings together an engaging mix of human passions, supernatural forces, and the transcendent power of self-sacrificing love. The production by Sir Peter Wright catches the atmosphere of this great Romantic ballet, especially in the perfection of its White Act, with ghostly maidens drifting through the forest in spectacular patterns -- one of the most famous of any scenes for the corps de ballet. Giselle dances with lightness and fragility, giving the impression of floating through the mist. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  This is one of The Royal Ballet's most loved and admired productions, faithful to the spirit of the 1841 original yet always fresh at each revival. This performance features former Bolshoi star and now Royal Ballet principal Natalia Osipova in a breath-taking interpretation of the title role.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Adolphe Adam\u003cbr\u003e  GISELLE \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Giselle - Natalia Osipova\u003cbr\u003e  Albrecht - Carlos Acosta\u003cbr\u003e  Hilarion - Thomas Whitehead\u003cbr\u003e  Wilfred - Johannes Stepanek\u003cbr\u003e  Berthe - Deirdre Chapman\u003cbr\u003e  The Duke of Courland - Christopher Saunders\u003cbr\u003e  Bathilde - Christina Arestis\u003cbr\u003e  Myrtha - Hikaru Kobayashi\u003cbr\u003e  Moyna - Elizabeth Harrod\u003cbr\u003e  Zulme - Akane Takada\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Royal Opera House Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e  Boris Gruzin, conductor\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Marius Petipa, choreographer\u003cbr\u003e  John Macfarlane, set and costume designer\u003cbr\u003e  Jennifer Tipton, lighting designer\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Recorded live at the Royal Opera House, January 2014\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Bonus:\u003cbr\u003e  - The Romance of Giselle\u003cbr\u003e  - The Corps de ballet in Giselle\u003cbr\u003e  - Cast Gallery\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Picture format: 1080i High Definition\u003cbr\u003e  Sound format: LPCM 2. 0 \/ DTS 5.1\u003cbr\u003e  Region code: 0 (worldwide)\u003cbr\u003e  Subtitles (bonus): English\u003cbr\u003e  Running time: 113 mins (ballet) + 10 mins (bonus)\u003cbr\u003e  No. of Discs: 1\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Opus Arte","offers":[{"title":"Blu-Ray","offer_id":49607839056152,"sku":"809478071518","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/2778484.jpg?v=1747173166","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/adam-giselle-2","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
