The Florida Classical Ballet Theatre presents Giselle, a ballet first performed in Paris in 1841.
Giselle is a classic tale of love conquering all, even death.
It’s the story of a simple peasant girl who protects her lover from the vengeance of a group of evil female spirits called the Wilis. Betrayed by love, Giselle goes mad and dies of a broken heart. When she becomes a ghost, she is ordered to destroy the man who caused her pain, although she is still deeply in love with him.
The ballet deals with the powerful forces of nature, including forest spirits and death. In the end, undying love triumphs over betrayal and death.
The role of Giselle is one of the most coveted parts for a dancer. To win the role, a dancer must have outstanding grace, and great drama skills.

When: 7:30 p.m. Saturday, and 2 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday.
Where: PBSC Eissey Campus Theatre, 3160 PGA Blvd., Palm Beach Gardens.
