The peasant girl Giselle discovers the true identity of her lover Albrecht – and that he is promised to another. This is one of The Royal Ballet’s most loved and admired productions, faithful to the spirit of the 1841 original yet always fresh at each revival. This performance features former Bolshoi star and now Royal Ballet Principal Natalia Osipova in a breath-taking interpretation of the title role.

Everyone is saying she looks sickly, but isn't the character well, *dead?* So the way her makeup is done really sells, it puts you in the mind set that she *IS* a ghost dancing among the world of the living, she is really beautiful and well fit for a ballerina. With all the hard work and exercise she must do of course she's gonna be a little thin(maybe more than a little but still that's a lot of demanding exercise) but I'm sure she's healthy otherwise she wouldn't be able to do so much physical activity without passing out. ☺️ I love this dance so much and she did it so beautifully

To those saying she looks unhealthy, I think the white powder they put all over her face and body makes her look skinnier and sickly. Her body is actually perfectly fine for a ballerina. I also love her expression and emotion she shows throughout this entire act and I think she did an amazing job as Giselle.
