Royal Opera House Live: Giselle

So here I am at the Vue cinema to see Giselle. I know nothing about this production other than what I have read in the synopsis below.
Act 1. is over and what a performance it's very sad. Good job the lights are dimmed sniff where is that tissue.
Act 2 is about to start still feels strange to have an intermission in a cinema.
Well that can one say other than wow how sad love lost and how that love transcends death. The performance brought a tear to my eye it was quite moving.
I have to say it was fantastic the whole thing was very well done. The story line was well told and the performance was superb.
Synopsis:~
Giselle has been a classic for the best part of two centuries and is seen here in a dazzling new incarnation by director Peter Wright. A young peasant girl, bewitched by dancing, falls in love with someone she thinks is a regular village boy but who is in fact a nobleman already betrothed to a girl of his own class. When she finds out he is a nobleman living in disguise, she is wracked by a devastating heartbreak that leads to a dramatic climax. Giselle brims with dazzling choreography and bold storytelling and is the perfect way to discover classical ballet.
