La Sylphide: Paris Opera Ballet
About the Event
Experience the fascinating subtlety of Philippe Taglioni's "La Sylphide" at Palais Garnier.
First premiered at the Paris Opera in 1832, "La Sylphide" heralded the advent of Romanticism. Lost to the repertoire for a long time, this emblematic ballet is presented in a faithful recreation by Pierre Lacotte.
