A captivating tale of love and the supernatural
Be transported to the rugged hills and misty skies of the Scottish Highlands in this quintessential Romantic work. Choreographed by August Bournonville in 1836, La Sylphide is one of the oldest surviving ballets.
As James naps on the morning of his wedding, an ethereal sylph perches beside his armchair and wakes him with a kiss. Captivated by this woodland spirit, he abandons his wedding and chases after her into the forest. Though they are overjoyed to be together, trouble is brewing: the sylph is so airy that she slips right through James’s fingers. A witch promises that she can make the sylph his own, but James fears what her true intentions might be.
Join us for the BTM premiere of La Sylphide! Featuring diaphanous sylphs, wicked witches, and spirited Highland dance, it's a performance that's not to be missed.
