Back to Blog February 13, Maria Torija has performed Giselle times. She knows this ballet well. Giselle rises from her grave and is inaugurated. A sound is heard nearby. The Wilis hide. Alone Albrecht sees the spectre of Giselle and he follows the vision. He tries to embrace her but his arms pass through her. As Giselle vanishes, Albrecht searches for her in the woods.

Hilarion, ensnared by the power of the Wilis, dances until exhausted and is thrown into the river where he drowns. Giselle appears suddenly and sends Albrecht to her graveside. Myrtha uses Giselle to lure Albrecht away from her grave by compelling her to dance. By dancing with Albrecht, Giselle attempts to prolong his ability to survive.

They dance together as an expression of their love. Just as it seems Albrecht will dance himself to his grave, the first beams of the morning sun appear. Albrecht is saved. The Wilis must depart at daybreak, but so too must Giselle. Giselle slowly disappears into the dawn.
