Giselle 
 The ballet was first performed in Paris on Monday 28 June 1841 at the Théâtre de l'Académie Royale de Musique.
Giselle 
 Ballet historian Grace Robert writes "Giselle ... is the archetype of the ballets of the romantic age".
Giselle 
 After the Revolution, French ballet directors and designers turned their attention to stories based on the Greek and Roman mythologies.
Giselle 
 These stories were based on real life, real places, past times, everyday people, and the supernatural.
Giselle 
 It would be set in a real place and in the past, for example, and would be about everyday people and supernatural women.
Giselle 
 In an 1841 news article announcing the first performance of Giselle, Théophile Gautier recorded his part in the creation of the ballet.
Giselle 
 He had read Heinrich Heine's description of the Wilis in De l'Allemagne, and thought these evil spirits would make a "pretty ballet".
Giselle 
 He planned their story for Act 2, and settled upon a verse by Victor Hugo called "Fantômes" to provide the inspiration for Act 1.
Giselle 
 They have died before their wedding day and rise from their graves in the middle of the night to dance.
Giselle 
 Gautier thought Heine's Wilis and Hugo's fifteen year old Spanish girl would make a good ballet story.
Giselle 
 Giselle and other dancers would enter and whirl through the room, unable to resist the spell to keep them dancing.
Giselle 
 The Queen of the Wilis would enter, lay her cold hand on Giselle's heart, and the girl would drop dead.
Giselle 
 He had no experience writing ballet stories so he called upon Vernoy de St. Georges, a man who had written many stories for the ballet.
Giselle 
 He wrote the story of Giselle as it is known today in three days, and sent it to Léon Pillet, the director of the Paris Opéra.
Giselle 
 This style is well known to music lovers from Bellini's opera Norma and Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor.
Giselle 
 This leitmotif is heard again in the mad scene, and in Act 2 when Giselle offers flowers to Albrecht.
Giselle 
 It is heard in the overture, in Act 1 when Berthe tells the story of the Wilis, and in the mad scene.
Giselle 
 A critic noted however that Adam had borrowed eight bars from a romance by a Miss Puget and three bars from the huntsman's chorus in Carl Maria von Weber's opera Euryanthé.
Giselle 
 Perrot and Carlotta Grisi were lovers, and Perrot designed all of Grisi's dances and all of her pantomime.
Giselle 
 Everyone in the Paris dance world knew that Perrot had designed Grisi's dances, and Coralli said so, but Perrot was given no official credit in the printed materials such as posters and programs.
Giselle 
 This was most likely done to prevent Perrot from collecting royalties (money, profits) on the ballet.
Giselle 
 Act 1 features short mimed scenes, he points out, and episodes of dancing which are fused with mime.
Giselle 
 Leaping steps: (vertical) ballotte, entrechat, sisonne, rond de jambe en l'air saute, (horizontal) cabriole, jete, grande jete, soubresaut
Giselle 
 Beaumont speculates that the simple steps were deliberately planned to allow the "utmost expressiveness."
Giselle 
 The Prince of Courland and his daughter Bathilde used to make their entrance on horseback, but today they walk on.
Giselle 
 In the original production, the Prince and Bathilde were present at Giselle's death, but now they leave the scene before she dies.
Giselle 
 A trapdoor is sometimes employed to make Giselle rise from her grave and then to make her sink into it at the end of Act 2.
Giselle 
 This moment was an artistic parallel to the Act 1 finale when the peasants gathered about the dead Giselle.
Giselle 
 At the time Giselle was written, people thought of Germany when they heard a waltz because the waltz was of German origin.
Giselle 
 Giselle makes her first entrance to the music of a waltz, and the audience would have known at once that the ballet was set in Germany.
Giselle 
 At first, Gautier thought that some of the dancers in the Act 2 waltz for the Wilis should dress in ethnic costume and dance ethnic steps.
Giselle 
 Gautier's "ethnic" idea was dropped as the ballet developed however, and it has not been picked up by modern producers.
Giselle 
 Today, Act 2 is a ballet blanca "white" ballet in which all the ballerinas and the corps de ballet are dressed in full, white, bell-shaped skirts and the dances have a geometric design.
Giselle 
 Paul Lormier, the chief costume designer at the Paris Opéra, probably consulted Gautier on this matter.
Giselle 
 It is also possible that Pillet had the ballet's budget in mind and decided to use the many Renaissance-style costumes in the Opéra's wardrobe for Giselle.
Giselle 
 These costumes were said to have been those from Rossini's William Tell (1829) and Berlioz's Benvenuto Cellini (1838).
Giselle 
 Albert's costumes are closer to those of modern productions than those of Lormier, and were in use at the opera until 1868.
Giselle 
 He wanted to revive the costumes of the original production but dropped the idea, believing the critics would charge him with a lack of imaginative creativity.
Giselle 
 Gautier was not specific about the ballet's locale, but placed it in "some mysterious corner of Germany ... on the other side of the Rhine".
Giselle 
 Even so, Ciceri did not have enough time to design sets for both acts and focused on the second act.
Giselle 
 The sets for the first act were actually those designed for the 1838 ballet, La Fille du Danube by Adam.
Giselle 
 An illustration from Les Beautés de l'Opera of 1845 shows Giselle's cottage with a roof of straw on the left, and Albrecht's cottage on the right.
Giselle 
 Although this scene was not designed for Giselle, it has remained the model for most modern productions.
Giselle 
 At that time, Gautier noticed that the sets were falling apart: "Giselle's cottage has barely three or four straws on its roof."
Giselle 
 On the stage, thick weeds and wildflowers (200 bulrushes and 120 branches of flowers) were the undergrowth.
Giselle 
 The gas jets of the footlights and those overhead suspended in the flies were turned low to create a mood of mystery and terror.
Giselle 
 Adam thought Ciceri's backdrop for Act 1 was "not so good ... it is all weak and pale" but he liked the set for Act 2: "[Ciceri's] second act is a delight, a dark humid forest filled with bulrushes and wild flowers, and ending with a sunrise, seen at first through the trees at the end of the piece, and very magical in its effect."
Giselle 
 Instead of returning to her tomb at the end of the ballet, it was decided Giselle would be placed on a bed of flowers and sink slowly into the earth.
Giselle 
 Grisi played Giselle with Lucien Petipa as her lover Albrecht, M. Simon as the gamekeeper Hilarion, and Adèle Dumilâtre as Myrtha, the Queen of the Wilis.
Giselle 
 Typical of the theatrical practices of the time, Giselle was preceded by an excerpt from another productionin this case, the third act of Rossini's opera, Moise.
Giselle 
 In spite of the chief machinist shouting orders to his crew that could be heard by the audience, Giselle was a great success.
Giselle 
 He thought the Act 1 waltz "ravishing", and noted that the scene of Berthe's narrative was filled with "quite new" harmonic modulations.
Giselle 
 He praised other moments in Act 1 (especially the mad scene), and was in raptures with the music of Act 2, singling out the entrance of the Wilis and the viola solo played through Giselle's last moments.
Giselle 
 He thought the flute and harp music accompanying Giselle as she disappeared into her grave at ballet's end "full of tragic beauty."
Giselle 
 Coralli followed a suggestion made by Gautier and picked the most beautiful girls in the company to play the peasants and the Wilis.
Giselle 
 One observer thought the selection process cruel: the almost-beautiful girls were turned away without a second thought.
Giselle 
 Gautier praised their performance in Act 2, writing that the two dancers made the act "a real poem, a choreographic elegy full of charm and tenderness ... More than one eye that thought it was seeing only [dance] was surprised to find its vision obscured by a tearsomething that does not often happen in a ballet ... Grisi danced with a perfection ... that places her in the ranks between Elssler and Taglioni ... Her miming surpassed every expectation ... She is nature and artlessness personified."
Giselle 
 Adam thought Petipa "charming" as both dancer and actor, and that he had "rehabilitated" male dancing with his performance.
Giselle 
 Of Dumilâtre he wrote, "... in spite of her coldness, [Dumilâtre] deserved the success she achieved by the correctness and the 'mythological' quality of her poses: perhaps this word may seem a little pretentious, but I can think of no other to express such cold and noble dancing as would suit Minerva in a merry mood, and in this respect [Dumilâtre] seems to bear a strong resemblamce to that goddess."
Giselle 
 Pictures of Grisi as Giselle were printed, and sheet music arrangements were made for social dancing.
Giselle 
 A silk cloth was manufactured called façonné Giselle, and Madame Lainné, a milliner, sold an artificial flower called 'Giselle'.
Giselle 
 Giselle was produced by other ballet companies in Europe and America almost immediately after its first night.
Giselle 
 The British had their first taste of Gisellenot with the ballet but with a drama based on the ballet called Giselle, or The Phantom Night Dancers by William Moncrieff.
Giselle 
 The actual ballet was first staged in London at Her Majesty's Theatre on 12 March 1842 with Grisi as Giselle and Perrot as Albrecht.
Giselle 
 The ballet was staged by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in 1911 at the Royal Opera, Covent Garden with Tamara Karsavina and Nijinsky as Giselle and Albrecht.
Giselle 
 Alicia Markova danced the role with the Vic-Wells Ballet in 1934, and Margot Fonteyn took the role in 1937 when Markova left the company.
Giselle 
 Gedeonov, the Director of the St. Petersburg Imperial Theatres, sent his Ballet Master Titus to Paris to find a new ballet for ballerina Elena Andreyanova.
Giselle 
 Diaghilev wanted Nijinsky to wear the Renaissance-style costume he had worn in Paris the same month.
Giselle 
 It was easier to dance in than the thick pants of traditional Russian Albrechts, but his genitals (though covered) could be detected.
Giselle 
 According to Stravinsky, Nijinsky wore not much more than the tightest tights and a padded athletic supporter (jockstrap).

Minute Waltz

Minute Waltz 
 The tempo marking is Molto vivace (), but Chopin did not intend the waltz to be played in one minute as some believe.
