Not to be confused with the previous one Les Sylphides.
This is one of the oldest romantic ballets still in use today. There were two versions only 1 survived to this day.
Originally by Filippo Taglioni in 1832 starring his daughter Maria Taglioni was then revived in 1836 by Danish balletmaster August Bournonville (1805 - 1879) this version is the one usually used today by the Danish Royal Ballet.

Very beautifully costumes creating a really romantic feel, i think the colour palette was well thought out nothing stood out at all. The sylph like mythological creatures were well represented through that even though majority in white the decorations and the delicate sleeves were stunning.
