5.0 out of 5 stars A superb production Dec 25 2008
By Paul Zollmann Exp
This production of La Sylphide (The Wood Nymph) is most imaginative and exciting. The lead dancer, Aurélie Dupont is not only a great dancer but a superb actress which brings the character to life. The remaining principal dancers are also very very good. Unlike many classical ballets, the corps de ballet is an active participant in the action.

Thanks to the excellent direction and choreography, the story could be followed easily - even by younger children who may actually become excited by the idea of ballet.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Beautiful Ballet Of The 19th Century Recreated Sep 2 2005
By Rudy Avila - Published on Amazon.com
When La Sylphide first premiered on March 12, 1832, Marie Taglioni made ballet history by dancing in the first white tutu and dancing the whole performance en pointe. It is considered the first Romantic ballet (not the court dances or court-inspired dances of the time of Louix the Fourteenth). For the first time, a world of whimsy and poetic imagery was staged. La Sylphide tells the story of a Scotsman who is married but falls for a mysterious aerial creature- La Sylphide. There is much plotless dancing and beautiful forest scenery. A villain- Madge, bent on ruining the lovers. This production from 2004 is performed by the Paris Opera Ballet company. It's beautifully re-created from the original choreography by Taglioni. The music is masterfully orchestrated and the bonus feature recounting the history is a fine addition. Own this DVD today if you love classic ballet.

5.0 out of 5 stars An enchanting evening Dec 3 2005
By Christian Bernard - Published on Amazon.com
We have recently bought this DVD and highly recommend it. Picture and sound quality are gorgeous. Aurélie Dupont's dancing is magnificent. She is elegant, weightless and she truly IS la Sylphide by expressing all her feelings and grace. Mathieu Gano is extremely elegant, athletic and very expressive. The "Corps de Ballet" is a model of precision and beauty. The forest décor with the flying Sylphides is magnificent. Lacotte's interview explains how he has succeeded in rebuilding the ballet as presented in 1832 from information painfully gathered over the years. A lovely moment for ballet lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super wonderful ballet! July 8 2005
By Highland Dancer - Published on Amazon.com
Wow! This was such a terrific ballet to watch. Costumes were wonderful, sets were beautiful. The Paris Opera Ballet did such an excellent job creating this production. It is somewhat of a reproduction piece, being pieced together from original choreography with some new added. The dancing definitely has an old world "period" feel to it - not a pyrotechnical crowd jumps to their feet kind of production. I was stunned by Ms Dupont and Mr Ganio. Dupont has the most beautiful feet I have ever seen - She's a beautiful dancer, but her feet were just exquisite. And Ganio was the most graceful male dancer I've ever seen. A lot of the dancing is somewhat plotless - lots of the guy dancing with sylphs in the woods, but it doesn't get boring because you keep saying wow about the dancers. This is a must own for ballet lovers. And the interview/making of/history of La Sylphide bonus was very educating.
