" La Sylphide represents a very significant part of ballet histo- 6l4-(Vi3- ' ry," said Jonas Kage, artistic director of Ballet West. "It is a classic from the romantic era that has endured for over 110 years. Schaufuss' rendition is a prime example of the import tance of taking the time and care to and reconstruct the classics, giving them new energy and logic." In 1832, the Italian Ballet Master Filippo Taglioni choreographed La Sylphide for his daughter Marie Taglioni. A romantic story of the Sylph, who lures James, a young Highland crofter, away from his fiancee on the eve of their wedding. La Sylphide marked the triumph of the Romantic ballet, and it identified Maria Taglioni as an ideal vision of the Romantic balleri- Workshop For Small Businesses business workshop is scheduled for Wednesday, ) p.m., in room M4010 of the North Scptcmlvr lJ, Irom building.

In her exquisite portrayal of the Sylph, she moved across the stage with astonishing lightness, captivating her audience On Going Two New (1805-1879- 21-2- 9, 4. Coming Soon by being one of the first ballerinas to dance on the tips of her toes (en pointe). ), August Boumonville director of the Royal Danish Ballet, declared that Marie Taglioni was his "ideal dancer." During his performance days in Paris, he had partnered Marie Taglioni and worshiped her artistry. However, when he saw her in La Sylphide, during a visit to Paris in 1834, he was shocked by the fact that James was a mere support for the adorable Sylph. When he decided to stage La Sylphide for the Royal Danish Ballet, he choreographed an entirely new ballet, using the occasion to employ the Baron Hermann von Lovenskjold to compose a new score, as the score by Jean Schneitzhoeffer used by Taglioni was too expensive to adapt. Fie created the Sylph as a childlike being, selfishly attracted to James as a new plaything. James' passion is more serious, and it is his desire to possess the Sylph utterly by means of the enchanted scarf that brings about her death arid the irrevocable end to James' happiness. Like so many other ballets of the 19th Century, La Sylphide has been subject to musical cuts, as well as tampering of the action and the score. When Boumonville ended his career as a performer in 1848, even he excised certain parts of James1 role in subsequent restagings of the ballet. 2001-200- acclaimed Internationally choreographer Peter Schaufuss has returned, whenever possible, to the original musical score. He has replaced many of the previous cuts, including a solo for James early in Act I and a restoration of a passage for the sylphs in Act II. The performances of La Sylphide will be accompanied by the UtaJi Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Terence Kern. Evening performances will run September 21, 22, 26, 27, 28, 29 and will begin at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee September 29 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at Arflix by calling (2787), www.arttix.org, or at the Capitol Theatre box office.
