The peasant girl Giselle has fallen in love with Albrecht. When she discovers that he is actually a nobleman promised to another, she kills herself in despair. Her spirit joins the Wilis: the vengeful ghosts of women hell-bent on killing any man who crosses their path in a dance to the death. Wracked with guilt, Albrecht visits Giselle’s grave, where he must face the Wilis – and Giselle’s ghost. Peter Wright’s 1985 production of this quintessential Romantic ballet is a classic of The Royal Ballet repertory. Set to Adolphe Adam’s evocative score and with atmospheric designs by John Macfarlane, Giselle conjures up the earthly and otherworldly realms in a tale of love, betrayal and redemption.
The show on the 3 March will be streamed live.
The subsequent show which takes place on 8 March is a recording.
Broadcast Event FAQs
These are events which are filmed in front of a live audience, but optimised for the big screen so it’s the next best thing to being there.
The performers on stage deliver their performances as they normally would any other night. But to make sure audiences watching in cinemas have the best seat in the house, the camera positions are tailored to capture each production and work closely with technical teams to make sure every element on stage such as lighting, hair and make-up look fantastic on the big screen.
No. Some events are broadcast live as they happen in real time, some are recorded as they happen and then screened again after the event, usually during a short theatrical window.
BBFC 'As Live' age ratings are temporary age ratings for content other than conventional films (e.g. stage or sporting events) projected in cinemas. 'As Live' ratings are based on information provided by the distributor, without the content being viewed by the BBFC prior to exhibition. They are valid for seven days after the live event.
As Live events are not live transmissions, as these sit outside the scope of UK licensing laws. Only delayed exhibition of a live event requires an As Live rating, even if the delay is only a few minutes.
Please note that As Live classifications are not advisory, they must be adhered to as with normal film certification.
