Dancer Kirsten Bloom Allen in Sacramento Ballet's 2004 production of Giselle.

The story of the 1841 French ballet “Giselle” by French composer Adolphe Adam is the stuff of European fairy tales (and horror movies): vengeful young lady spirits put spells on living young men that make them dance until they drop dead from exhaustion. Except for the ghost of Giselle who protects her still-living man, that she loved in life, from that fate. A suite of the music from “Giselle” is today’s Midday Masterpiece.
