Synopsis
Giselle, a peasant girl, is in love with a young peasant called Loys. She is loved by a gamekeeper, who is very jealous on seeing her prefer his rival. In her happiness she dances, in spite of the advice and forebodings of her mother, who reminds her of the legend of the Willis. The Willis are lovers who died the day before their wedding. They could not sleep in peace in their tombs. A too great love of dancing will not let them rest even after death: every night they get up and have to dance until dawn—and woe be to any one who passes near to their accursed haunts. But Giselle refuses to believe in her mother’s presentiments. The vintage festival must be celebrated. Giselle learns that the man she loves is none other than the nobleman Albrecht, disguised as a peasant to deceive her, and that he is about to marry Bathilde, daughter of a Duke of Courland. It is the gamekeeper who reveals this, and she soon finds that it is true. Albrecht, furious, wishes to kill the gamekeeper, but is prevented; and Giselle, in despair, becomes mad and dies.
