Adam's 'Giselle' with Bocca, Ledo, Abruzzo and Szleszinsky from Buenos Aires

Adam's 'Giselle' is a romantic ballet ('ballet-pantomime') in two acts. The ghost-filled ballet tells the tragic, romantic story of a beautiful young peasant girl named Giselle and a disguised nobleman named Albrecht, who fall in love, but when his true identity is revealed by his rival, Hilarion, Giselle goes mad and dies of heartbreak. After her death, she is summoned from her grave into the vengeful, deadly sisterhood of the Wilis, the ghosts of unmarried women who died after being betrayed by their lovers and take revenge in the night by dancing men to death by exhaustion (a popular theme in Romantic-era ballets). Performers:

Giselle: Camila Bocca.
Albrecht: Juan Pablo Ledo.
Hilarion: Emanuel Abruzzo.
Berthe: Noemi Szleszinsky.
Duke of Courland: Matías Santos.
Wilfred: Matías De Santis.

Buenos Aires Philharmonic Orchestra. Conductor: Javier Logioia Orbe.
