Step into a world of enchantment, mystery, and ethereal beauty with La Sylphide. This beloved Scottish tale of love and illusion continues to captivate audiences with themes of forbidden love, nature versus civilization, and human longing for meaning that feel as relevant today as they did nearly 200 years ago. When James, a young Scottish farmer, becomes enchanted by a mystical sylph, he risks everything to follow her into a magical realm, only to discover the devastating cost of chasing the unattainable.
With its signature Romantic-era charm, misty woodland settings, and a tutu-clad corps de ballet, La Sylphide is a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece that combines elegance, drama, and heartbreak in equal measure.
Experience the magic of a classic that has captivated generations and discover why it endures as one of the most mesmerizing stories ever told on stage.
Run Time
Act I – 33 minutes Intermission – 20 minutes Act II – 36 minutes
BroadwayWorld reviews San Francisco Ballet's richly-rewarding Program 4, which runs lives onstage at the War Memorial Opera House through Sunday, March 20th. The dazzling program pairs the Bournonville Romantic-era classic 'La Sylphide' with Alexei Ratmansky's 'The Seasons,' a rambunctious, contemporary reimagining of a lost Petipa ballet.
This December, San Francisco Ballet, the Company and School that has been a trailblazer in dance since its founding in 1933, returns to the War Memorial Opera House from December 10–30 for 29 performances of Artistic Director Helgi Tomasson's beloved Nutcracker.
San Francisco Ballet has announced Artistic Director and Principal Choreographer Helgi Tomasson’s farewell season in 2022, celebrating Tomasson’s remarkable 37-year tenure leading the Company.
