La Sylphide
La Sylphide is considered the first romantic ballet in the history of dance. It tells the story of Scottish James, who on the morning of his marriage to Effie is awakened by a Sylphide, a winged being to whom he is immediately attracted. Not being able to stop thinking about her, he runs into the forest to try to find her and find a way to make her human, so that they can live happily ever after. However, the outcome of the story of James and Sylphide proves to be tragic.
Premiered on March 12, 1832 at the Royal Academy of Music in Paris, with choreography by Filippo Taglioni and music by Jean Schneitzhoeffer, La Sylphide gained enormous popularity among the public. In 1836, August Bournonville created his choreographic version with a new score by Herman Löwenskjold for the Royal Danish Ballet. This version, which entered the CNB repertoire in 1980, also became a reference for the work of this Danish master, continuing today to be one of the most danced versions throughout the world.
There will not be a performance on December 8.
