Giselle 的中文解釋or歷史??

Giselle is a ballet from the Romantic period. Its music was composed by the French ballet and opera composer Adolphe Adam (with additions by Friedrich Burgmüller and Léon Minkus). It was choreographed by Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot. Giselle was first presented by the Ballet of the Académie Royale de Musique (today known as the Paris Opera Ballet) on June 28, 1841.

Characters
Giselle - a young, pretty seamstress with a weak heart who falls in love with Albrecht.
Synopsis

In the first act, a young, innocent village maiden named Giselle is in love with a man she knows only as Loys. In reality, the man is Albrecht, a nobleman disguised as a peasant, and who is betrothed to Bathilde, daughter of the Duke. When Giselle discovers the deceit, she is inconsolable and goes mad, then dies of a broken heart. In the second act, her undying love for Albrecht saves him from the wicked magic of the wilis, vampiric ghosts of betrothed girls who have died before their wedding day. Though their leader, Myrtha, Queen of the Wilis, forces Albrecht to dance again and again, Giselle intervenes long enough to spare his strength and allow him to survive until the dawn. At sunrise, wilis must return to their grave; Giselle must return as well but not before showing Albrecht that she forgives him for his treachery. The two pledge their love to each other and she descends back into her grave, but will forever be separated. Giselle is now a wili for the rest of eternity.

The dramatists Théophile Gautier and Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges are the authors of the ballet's libretto.

Giselle 源於浪漫期間的芭蕾。它的音樂由法國芭蕾和歌劇作曲家Adolphe Adam 阿當(1803-1856) 編制而成 (增建部分自Friedrich BurgmüllerFriedrich 和Friedrich Burgmüller and Léon Minkus) 。Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot為其為編排舞蹈。而Giselle當時在1841 年6月28 日作首次芭蕾演出在Royale de Musique(今天以巴黎歌劇芭蕾為名)。它是那時代當中一個極少數還現存的芭蕾。
