Adam: Giselle (Opus Arte DVD)

Perhaps the most celebrated ballet of the Romantic era,
Adolphe Adam’s intoxicating ballet Giselle is the dramatic
story of a peasant girl whose betrayal by her aristocratic
lover causes her to go mad before dying and returning as a
ghost. Featuring the fabulous Alina Cojocaru in the title
role and Johan Kobborg as a torn Count Albrecht, Peter
Wright’s sparkling production and John Macfarlane’s
pastoral designs create an opulent feast for the eyes, here
captured in High Definition video and true surround
sound.
