August Bournonville’s La Sylphide originally premiered in November 1836 by the Royal Danish Ballet in Copenhagen, Denmark, and is believed to be the oldest romantic ballet that is still performed today.
Houston Ballet is pleased to announce that this year’s performances of La Sylphide will be accompanied by a world premiere from Artistic Director Stanton Welch AM. Titled Sparrow, this new work is set to music by Simon & Garfunkel, including popular songs such as Cecilia and The Only Living Boy in New York, and will feature a large ensemble cast of dancers.
