- Originating in the Romantic era of ballet, this enchanting tale of love, betrayal, and the supernatural continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Join us as we explore the captivating storyline of "La Sylphide," following the tale of James, a young Scotsman, whose encounter with a mystical Sylph sets off a chain of events that will change his life forever.
I started "Ballet Explained" to make videos which focus on the narrative and meaning of famous ballets. I want to present ballet in a simple, entertaining, clear and concise way.

Interesting version here used with a kind of younger Madge. Thank you for explaining it with this summary, using also a version which I wanted to see more from. It's kind of amazing as this was the very first ballet as actual ballet. Previously, I was not so much in like with the tragic tale, but meanwhile, I try to see it as a more complex story with so amazing characters. Fidelity vs betrayal, illusions vs real possible life, how James tries to bond the airy spirit to him and loses her with this forever, seeing this ballet also from Effi's or Madges' view.
I hope to see it also live someday!

He was greedy to want the sylph all to himself and wanting to bind her to himself
