Giselle

Alina Cojocaru takes on the title role in this iconic Romantic ballet, a part renowned for its grueling technical demands and profound emotional depth. She is joined by Johan Kobborg as Count Albrecht in a story exploring love’s ability to conquer mortality. Peter Wright’s sensitive direction and John Macfarlane’s designs vividly distinguish the mortal realm from the spectral, captured here in high-definition with immersive surround sound. Boris Gruzin conducts the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House.
