Today, we bring you Audrey Hepburn circa 1982. After appearing in several British films and starring in the 1951 Broadway play Gigi, Hepburn gained instant Hollywood stardom for playing the Academy Award-winning lead role in Roman Holiday (1953). Later performing in Sabrina (1954), The Nun's Story (1959), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), Charade (1963), My Fair Lady (1964) and Wait Until Dark (1967), Hepburn became one of the great screen actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age who received Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations and accrued a Tony Award for her theatrical performance in the 1954 Broadway play Ondine. Hepburn remains one of few entertainers who have won Academy, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Awards.

Der Kosmos des Romantischen Balletts, als dessen Initialwerk die 1832 in Paris uraufgeführte Sylphide anzusehen ist, bezieht seine fortdauernde Gültigkeit aus der Tatsache, für den aufgegriffenen Inhalt ein adäquates tänzerisches Mittel - den Spitzentanz - gefunden zu haben. Das Ballett erzählt von einem Wesen aus einer anderen Welt, dessen Versuch, mit einem Sterblichen eine Verbindung einzugehen, tödlich endet. La Sylphide und seine Schöpfer - Filippo Taglioni als Choreograph und seine Tochter Marie als Sylphide - vermochten mit ihrem Ballett die Grundstimmung der Romantik idealtypisch auf die Bühne zu stellen. Dem leidenschaftlichen Engagement Pierre Lacottes für das Romantische Ballett ist die Wiederbelebung des Pariser Originals dieses Werks zu danken.
