The principle characters in the Giselle ballet are as follows: Giselle: our heroine, a peasant girl betrayed by love Albrecht/Loys: The count who disguises himself Hilarion: A local gameskeeper who is in love with Giselle Bathilde: The princess engaged to Albrecht The "Wilis": The spirits of virgins who have died of unrequited love Myrtha: Queen of the Wilis
Giselle is a romantic ballet, so typically in this style the ballerinas wear a low bun. They have a middle parting at the front with slight waves framing the face instead of the usual, more classical scraped back look.
I'm not sure who wrote the original story, but I think it was german. Then Tchaikovsky wrote the music for the ballet! Hope this helps!
Im not sure of all of the performances. But, I do know they perform the Nutcracker and have performed Giselle.
Giselle is a character in the fairy tale "Giselle" or "Giselle and the Wilis." The story is based on the ballet "Giselle," which follows the tale of a peasant girl named Giselle who falls in love with a nobleman and ultimately dies of a broken heart.
