September 15-17, 2023 La Sylphide

A beloved masterpiece, La Sylphide contains all the elements of Romantic ballet: a dark setting enshrouded in mist, a melodramatic love story doomed by a mysterious enchantment, and ethereal women in white. The famously specific Bournonville style provides joyful high points in the tragic story of a Scottish nobleman who finds himself in love with a sylph – a fairy-like spirit who is not of his world. Based on the original 1836 Royal Danish Ballet production, La Sylphide is one of the oldest surviving masterworks of classical ballet.
