Virtuous young villager Giselle is seduced by the Duke Albrecht, disguised as a peasant himself, unaware that he is already betrothed. Jealousy leads to the uncovering of Albrecht’s true identity and the revelations drive Giselle to despair and ultimately to her death. Her ghost joins the Wilis, vengeful spirits of betrayed women who haunt the forest and lure men to dance to their deaths. A remorseful Albrecht comes to mourn at her grave and is ensnared by the Wilis’ magic. Only Giselle’s undying love can sustain him as he dances to the dawn.
