Finnish National Ballet Giselle

The crown jewel of romantic ballet

Giselle is the crown jewel of French Romantic ballet. Its timeless story and the ethereal beauty of the spirits in Act II continue to enchant audiences across the world.

Artistic Director of the Ballet, choreographer Javier Torres brings the story of the ballet from the Middle Ages to 1950s Italy. The result is a production that honours the traditions of the genre, enriching Act I with alluring new visuals and a stronger narrative, before returning to the familiar, cherished aesthetics of Act II.
