What are the famuos romantic ballet shows?
Giselle is one of the most famous ballets. The ballet opens with Albrecht who is perusing Giselle, the attractive peasant girl. Albrecht goes on to lead Giselle to think that he is a farmer with the name of Loys who Giselle falls in love with. During this time she is unaware that the man is already betrothed to the daughter of the duke, Bathilde. She agrees to marry him despite Hilarion's, another peasant, romantic advancements and suspects that Albrecht is an imposter. Giselle wants to dance but is warned by her mother that she has a weak heart. Hilarion tells Giselle that Albrecht has been untruthful to her and that he is a nobleman in reality. Not long after, Bathilde reveals to Giselle that Albrecht is definitely her fiancé. Giselle is horrified, becomes weak, and soon dies of a broken heart. The second act starts in the setting of a forest at the side of Giselle's grave. The ghostly Wilis, virgins who died of unrequited love, are called upon by their queen to accept Giselle as one of their own. When Hilarion stops by the grave, the Wilis make him dance to his death. But when Albrecht arrives, Giselle, who has become a Wili herself, dances with him until the Wilis' power is lost, when the clock strikes four. It is then that Albrecht realizes that Giselle has saved him and he cries at her grave.

Who is Gizelle in swan lake?
You are thinking about two separate ballets. :) The main character in Swan Lake is Odette and is about a girl who gets turned in to a swan and almost loses her true love because of Odeile (the black swan). The main character in Giselle is Giselle. Haha. Giselle is about a villager who falls in love with a guy only to find out with he is cheating on her with a daughter of a king.
