  3. Sylvia


A mythical soap opera full of desire, deception and forbidden romance.  

Sylvia is a captivating ballet combining the elegance of classical ballet with elements of folklore and mythology.

The audience will be transported on an epic journey, combining the stories of three superheroines in all the splendor of Ancient Greece. Join the fierce goddess Artemis, the adventurous nymph Sylvia and the mischievous Psyche as they navigate desire and deception in the realm of short-tempered gods and fantastical creatures.

This exciting revival of a rarely staged ballet was first performed in Paris over 150 years ago and has since attracted some of the world’s leading choreographers, including Ivanov, Ashton, Balanchine and Neumeier.

Léo Delibes’s enchanting music adds an extra dimension to the show as his haunting melodies and rich orchestrations gracefully accompany the dancers' movements, helping to create a perfect harmony between the choreography and the music. In fact, Delibes’s score was so admired by Tchaikovsky that he purportedly declared: had he known the music existed at the time, he would never have composed Swan Lake!

Experience this bold retelling of a classic ballet, promising all the passion and humor of Greek myth, tangled love affairs and sword fighting ballerinas.
