About La Sylphide - The Royal Danish Ballet
Lis Jepessen dances the lead role of La Sylphide -- a beautiful forest sprite who entrances Scottish farmer James (Nikolaj Hubbe) with her radiance -- in this memorable stage adaptation of August Bournonville's most enduring work, a piece he created for the Royal Danish Ballet in 1836. Sorella Englund co-stars as Madge, a vengeful witch and fortune-teller who, after being spurned by James, resolves to destroy his future.
Directed by Thomas Grimm, La Sylphide - The Royal Danish Ballet leans on a strong ensemble — Lis Jepessen, Nikolaj Hübbe, Sorella Englund — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1988.
