Giselle on 11 November 2026: Kremlin Ballet in Moscow

When: 11 November 2026

Where: State Kremlin Palace, Great Hall, Moscow

Giselle is a Romantic ballet in which a village celebration gives way to the ghostly world of the Wilis. The love story of Giselle and Albrecht begins with deception and leads to a choice between revenge and forgiveness. You do not need previous ballet experience to follow it: the contrast between the two acts shapes the story.

Kremlin Ballet presents Adolphe Adam’s work in Andrei Petrov’s stage version. Its choreography combines the work of Jules Perrot, Jean Coralli and Marius Petipa with the director’s own interpretation.

What you will see

The first act develops the relationships in a vivid, earthly setting. In the second, the ensemble, classical patterns and a supernatural night-time atmosphere become central. That change makes Giselle particularly rewarding as an introduction to Romantic ballet.

The performance is accompanied by the Orpheus Radio Symphony Orchestra. The announcement lists a running time of up to 2 hours 25 minutes including an interval, and a 12+ age rating. Recheck these details and the cast before buying a ticket.
