SYLPHIDES Les Sylphides has been described as "Romantic reverie." Les Sylphides is composed of a suite of dances in the romantic atmosphere of a moonlit park. The sylphides, (magical figures, like the sylph in La Sylphide), dance with the "poet" in search of the ideal. Set to the music of Fredric Chopin, this ballet was first premiered on Mar 21, 1908, with Anna Pavlova, Tamara Karsavina, Olga Preobrajenska and Vaslaw Nijinsky. Choreography: MICHAEL FOKINE Music: FREDRIC CHOPIN Lighting: KENNETH KEITH |
