Giselle


The Royal Ballet


The peasant girl Giselle has fallen in love with Albrecht. When she discovers that he is actually a nobleman promised to another, she kills herself in despair. Her spirit joins the Wilis: the vengeful ghosts of women hell-bent on killing any man who crosses their path in a dance to the death.  Wracked with guilt, Albrecht visits Giselle’s grave, where he must face the Wilis – and Giselle’s ghost.


Peter Wright’s 1985 production of this quintessential Romantic ballet is a classic of The Royal Ballet repertory. Set to Adolphe Adam’s evocative score and with atmospheric designs by John Macfarlane, Giselle conjures up the earthly and otherworldly realms in a tale of love, betrayal and redemption.

Mae'r ferch werinol Giselle wedi syrthio mewn cariad ag Albrecht. Pan mae hi'n darganfod ei fod mewn gwirionedd yn ŵr o dras uchel, addawol, ac wedi troi at un arall, mae hi'n lladd ei hun mewn anobaith. Mae ei hysbryd yn ymuno â'r Wilis: ysbrydion dialgar menywod sy'n benderfynol o ladd unrhyw ddyn sy'n croesi eu llwybr mewn dawns i farwolaeth. Wedi'i ladd gan euogrwydd, mae Albrecht yn ymweld â bedd Giselle, lle mae'n rhaid iddo wynebu'r Wilis - ac ysbryd Giselle.


Mae cynhyrchiad Peter Wright o'r bale Rhamantaidd nodweddiadol hwn ym 1985 yn glasur o repertoire The Royal Ballet. Wedi'i osod i sgôr atgofus Adolphe Adam a chyda dyluniadau atmosfferig gan John Macfarlane, mae Giselle yn dwyn i gof y byd daearol a'r byd arall mewn stori o gariad, brad ac iachawdwriaeth.
