Giselle

One of the oldest and most-performed ballets in the world, Giselle comes to Amsterdam for a run of performances.

Hamlet of ballet

The Dutch National Ballet injected new life into the so-called 'Hamlet of ballet' with a new version in 2009, giving modern-day audiences the chance to experience the ballet that has been captivating the ballet-going public since the mid-19th century.

Love in the lead

Deceit, revenge and forgiveness all play a significant part in Giselle, but it is love that takes the leading role. The two-act ballet tells the story of a peasant girl who protects her lover (Duke Albrecht) after her premature death, despite being deceived by him before passing away.
