Adolphe Adam's classic ballet, Giselle - with The Royal Opera House Orchestra and Alina Cojocaru in the title role

Giselle is the quintessential Romantic ballet. Its title role, one of the most technically demanding and emotionally challenging in the classical repertory, is here danced by Alina Cojocaru, partnered by Johan Kobborg as Count Albrecht.

This tale of the transcendental power of love over death is evocatively portrayed through Peter Wright's sensitive staging and John Macfarlane's designs, which beautifully contrast the human and supernatural worlds – mastered from a High Definition recording and true surround sound.

Boris Gruzin conducts the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House in this production of Adolphe Adam's classic ballet about a peasant girl whose betrayal by her aristocratic lover causes her to go mad before dying and returning as a ghost. Alina Cojocaru stars in the title role, while Johan Kobborg plays Count Albrecht.
