As ballet stars David Hallberg and Natalia Osipova strode onstage for the last of many curtain calls Friday night after their electrifying “Giselle,” with American Ballet Theatre, audience members responded with a little performance of their own. And wouldn’t you know that happened to be the date of the only “Giselle” they’re dancing together during ABT’s spring season. As their village by the Rhine celebrates the wine harvest, Giselle and Albrecht are drunk on dancing, and love. In one of the most iconic passages of the ballet, Giselle traverses the stage in a series of hopping steps on pointe, on one foot. Reunited with Hallberg’s Albrecht, dancing again bound them.
