A timeless favorite, Giselle masterfully conveys the heartbreaking story of unrequited love, devasting loss, and triumphant forgiveness. A heart-wrenching saga of love and mercy, Giselle tells the story of the titular village maiden in love with a handsome villager named Albrecht. What Giselle does not know is that her new paramour is a young nobleman in disguise and is already betrothed to another. When the truth is revealed, she dies of a broken heart, but ultimately returns from the grave to forgive her lover and save him from a vengeful death by the forest-dwelling Wilis.
