Bolshoi Ballet Live: La Sylphide

Certificate
12A
Running Time
120 mins

On his wedding day, young Scotsman James is awoken by a kiss from an ethereal winged creature – the sylph. Naturally, the shameful hornbag risks everything in pursuit of inter-species rumpo.

This is one of the world’s oldest surviving ballets and a treasure in the Danish Bournonville style. It is restaged for the Bolshoi by Bournonville expert Johan Kobborg.
