LA SYLPHIDE

Time for one of the great romantic ballets, time for La Sylphide, the beautiful dreamlike girl with whom the young and imaginative James falls in love, in his desire to embrace a world that transcends earthly life. The dreams of the leading man are recreated by the Czech National Ballet in a lavish production choreographed by Johan Kobborg, which has received rave reviews from critics in theatres around the world, including Covent Garden in London and the Bolshoi in Moscow. Principal dancer for many years with the Royal Danish Ballet and the London Royal Ballet, Johan Kobborg has revived the original 1836 version by the historic Danish choreographer August Bournonville, with the music of Herman Løvenskiold, performed in the pit by the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana.
