La Sylphide
description La Sylphide Overview
La Sylphide is one of the oldest and most significant ballets in the Romantic tradition. August Bournonville's version, preserved by the Royal Danish Ballet, is a masterclass in style, speed, and lightness. The story of a Scottish farmer who falls in love with a forest spirit is a haunting, tragic tale of obsession and loss. It is famous for its unique, buoyant technique and its focus on the ethereal, supernatural world.
It is a vital piece of ballet history that continues to be performed for its charm, its technical demands, and its enduring, otherworldly beauty.
