'La Sylphide is the archetypal Romantic ballet' -The Guardian
Set in Scotland, La Sylphide tells the story of a forest fairy who uses her magical gifts to attract a young Scotsman on the eve of his nuptials; ultimately leaving his fiancée at the altar to chase after the sylph. What follows is a romantic tale of unrequited love.
Based on the tale by French author Charles Nodier and originally choreographed by August Bournonville in 1836, this stunning new production captures all the passion and charm of this great Romantic-era classic. La Sylphide is a spellbinding tale of the insatiable human desire to find true love.
If you loved the romance of Giselle, you’ll adore the passion of La Sylphide.

August Bournonville, born in Copenhagen in 1805, was a dancer and choreographer who directed the Royal Danish Ballet for nearly 50 years and established the Danish style based on bravura dancing and expressive mime.
He studied under his father, Antoine Bournonville, one of the major dancers of his day, before going to Paris for further training under Auguste Vestris and Pierre Gardel. After appearances at the Paris Opera and in London, Bournonville returned to Copenhagen as soloist and choreographer for the Royal Danish Ballet.
A strong dancer with excellent elevation and an accomplished mime, he emphasized these qualities in his ballets. His choreographic style also reflected the pre-Romantic approach of his teacher Vestris. Many of his ballets have remained in the repertoire of the Royal Danish Ballet for more than a century. Bournonville also directed the Swedish Royal Opera at Stockholm (1861-64) and staged several of his works in Vienna (1855-56). In 1877, after his return to Denmark, he retired and was knighted. He died on November 30, 1879 in Copenhagen.
