A legend of Danish ballet, August Bournonville is one of the most distinct personalities in ballet history. He is the author of a host of unique works, mirroring one of the purest forms of Romantic ballet. Owing to this creative legacy, which has been preserved in its authentic form, we can look into the textbook of ballet technique development. Similarly to Marius Petipa or George Balanchine at a later juncture, in his time Bournonville became an innovator and created an extremely specific style of classical ballet. This production comprises the epic ballet La Sylphide and Act 3 from the ballet Napoli. The two titles represent the best from the repertoire of Bournonville’s original oeuvre, and they are most frequently staged in this very form worldwide.
Running time: 2 hours 30 minutes
