Philippo Taglioni’s 1832 romantic ballet in two acts soon tweaked by Danish August Bournonville is being performed in the province for the first time.
Its launch in Calgary last week was enthusiastically reviewed in The Calgary Herald by Stephan Bonfield, who notes, “perhaps most remarkable about the evening was the disclosure that Alberta Ballet’s La Sylphide was put together for production in four tight days and with only four weeks of rehearsal – not typical for this kind of technically demanding production.

“Whatever the results from this intricate and freshly presented sylvan masterpiece, the evening’s performance surely heralds many future triumphs to come for Ventriglia and his new company.”
One of the world’s oldest surviving ballets, artist director Francesco Ventriglia’s reimagined take shifts it from the Romantic Era into a story of a Scottish farmer, kilt and all, who falls in love with a magical forest Sylph while duty bound to marry a mere mortal woman.
“This ballet represents the quintessential romantic tutu ballet,” explains Ventriglia, “and not only encapsulates the ethereal beauty of the Sylph but also explores the depths of human emotion and desire.
“Our dedicated cast and creative team have poured their hearts into this production, and we are excited to invite audiences to experience the enchanting world of La Sylphide — a journey that transcends the ordinary and touches the soul.”
With gorgeous handmade costumes by Florence Opera House, and new sets designed by the ballet’s executive producer Malgorzata Szablowska in collaboration with visual designer Italo Grassi, La Sylphide is now part of Alberta Ballet’s repertoire, able to be remounted in the future.
