The ballet was first presented at the Paris Opéra's Salle Le Peletier on June 28, 1841 with Carlotta Grisi as Giselle. Giselle portrays the tale of a young peasant girl who is driven to madness and an untimely death upon discovering that her true love, Albrecht, has deceived her. In spite of her broken heart, Giselle, who now resides in an otherworldly forest of beguiled female spirits, protects her remorseful lover from the wili's evil vengeance.
