It is the gold standard of fine art in the repertoire of the Astrakhan Opera and Ballet Theatre. Fanciful, unusual, based on a fantasy short story, the ballet La Sylphide has won the hearts of the Astrakhan audience. This old ballet, based on the medieval European occult symbols, is unique. It became the first ballet where the ballerinas were dancing en pointe and it marked the beginning of the romantic ballet.
The cozy atmosphere of a Scottish home, the delightful music of Herman Løvenskiold, breathtaking virtuoso dances, airy forest fairies, the national clothes of the Scottish Highlanders, flying sylphs, a fairytale forest - all this will give the audience a wonderful dream world, where fantasies are intertwined with the reality.
The People's Artist of Russia Dmitry Gudanov, who used to be one of the best performers of the role of James, worked on the performance. The Conductor is the Honored Art Worker of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania Evgeny Kirillov.
