The Royal Ballet’s quintessential Romantic ballet, Giselle, broadcast live to cinemas on 3 March 2026
The Royal Ballet performs Peter Wright’s hallmark production of Giselle broadcast live to cinemas on 3 March 2026. One of the most famous ballets of the Romantic era and a significant work in The Royal Ballet’s repertory, Giselle blends storytelling and technically demanding choreography in a haunting tale of young love and betrayal.


Considered a masterwork of the classical ballet canon, Giselle contains one of the most coveted roles by dancers around the world. Leading the outstanding cast in this cinema broadcast are Royal Ballet Principal dancers Akane Takada as Giselle and Steven McRae as Albrecht.


Set in a medieval Rhineland village, Giselle tells the story of a young peasant girl who is driven to her death when deceived by her lover, Albrecht, a nobleman in disguise. Filled with remorse, Albrecht visits her moonlight grave where he is condemned to death by the vengeful Wilis, ghosts of young women who died before their wedding day. However, Giselle’s love transcends death and she saves her lover from his fate.


In two acts rich in drama and poignant depth of feeling, Peter Wright’s production perfectly captures the dual aspects of the story with the first act

dramatized in rich, naturalistic detail and the second act by a spectral, moonlit beauty. This classic production is a must-see for ballet fans everywhere.
