What becomes of the brokenhearted? For Giselle, the titular character of the romantic ballet presented on March 17 at 8:00 p.m., the answer is an untimely death and supernatural return. But don’t let the melancholy premise deter you: The combination of beautiful choreography by Marius Petipa performed by the Russian National Ballet, and ethereal production design make the performance a must-see. At the Hylton Performing Arts Center. Tickets $34-$56. HyltonCenter.org
Save the dates: The Russian National Ballet Theatre will also perform Chopiniana and Carmen on March 18 at 8:00 p.m., and The Sleeping Beauty on March 19 at 4:00 p.m. CFA.GMU.edu/
