Synopsis

Created in 1832 at the Paris Opera, Philippe Taglioni's "La Sylphide" heralded the advent of the romantic ballet. In a Scottish manor-house, on the morning of his wedding, James wakes up from a dream to discover a beautiful winged sylph before him. Entranced by the vision, he attempts to capture her but she escapes him and vanishes. During the wedding preparations, James hardly notices Effie; instead she is wooed by Gurn whom she ignores. James joins in the preparations but gradually realizes that his dreams go far beyond the walls of the manor-house and that his obsession with the winged creature risks his own happiness and that of his fiancee Effie.
