La Sylphide is a classical masterpiece, one of the world’s oldest—and most quintessentially romantic—ballets. Award-winning Danish choreographer Johan Kobborg and the extraordinary National Ballet of Canada dancers breathe intoxicating new life into this epic tale of love, loss, and self-sacrifice. Performed to music by Herman Løvenskjold, the ballet’s Scottish hero is fatally bewitched on his wedding day by an ethereal, unattainable woman—La Sylphide (the sylph). An ideal dream world of beauty and purity meets harsh reality as these passionate lovers experience ecstasy and despair before rushing headlong towards tragedy. Kobborg’s fluid, high-speed movement features lightning-fast beats, virtuoso male solos, and quicksilver jumps. Sumptuous sets and costumes by Desmond Heeley.
