Giselle is considered a masterwork in the classical ballet performance can- on; it was first performed in 1841. The ballet was an unqualified triumph. Giselle became hugely popular and was staged at once across Europe,Russia, and the United States.

This tale brings to light truths that we face before reach- ing acceptance and forgiveness.
