The character of “Giselle” is ballet’s Wonder Woman, the waif transformed into lifesaving hero. She’s innocent and frail to a fault, until she’s pushed. Then she becomes the defender of the endangered, the nemesis of all evildoers.
The second act is what makes the piece. Enter the Willis, the spirits of women done wrong who attempt to make Albrecht dance to his own death. Giselle’s forgiveness, and fancy footwork, saves his skin.
