La Sylphide
12:00, 19:00. Johan Kobborg products ballet in two acts to musiv by Herman Severin Levenskiold. Libretto by Adolphe Nourrit and Philippo Taglioni. Choreography by August Bournonville. Production and New Choreography: Johan Kobborg. Music Director: Pavel Klinichev. This is a work which marks a turning point in the genre: first, it is the oldest of the classical ballets which are known today, second, the ballet of the same name marks the start of dancing on pointe, third, it is not fortuitous that it was in that ballet that the ballerina - Marie Taglioni, the first ballerina of the romantic era - was to rise on pointe, the sylphide, after all, is a maiden of the air. This new production of Bournonville’s La Sylphide at the Bolshoi is by the Dane Johan Kobborg who is eminently qualified to do the job. He was trained to dance Bournonville’s works from the cradle. At 18, he was chosen as a model for a demonstration of the Danish ’designer label’ technique, to be recorded on video under the title The Bournonville Technique. He has danced in nearly all the Bournonville ballets which have come down to us and he became one of the world’s leading interpreters of the role of James in La Sylphide. Finally, he produced his own version of the ballet for London’s Royal Ballet and received an excellent press.
