At the Ballet

La Sylphide

One of the oldest romantic ballets, La Sylphide is a story about the insatiable human desire to find true love. When a forest fairy uses her magical gifts to attract a young Scotsman on the eve of his nuptials, the story unravels in a forest of uncertainty about whether love or
longing is worthy of self-sacrifce.
