La Sylphide by Erik Bruhn After Bournonville, Music by Herman Løvenskiold

On the morning of his wedding, the Scottish farmer James is enchanted by a sylph, a beautiful winged spirit visible only to him. He abandons his fiancée Effie and pursues the sylph into the forest, where the witch Madge gives him a cursed scarf. When James wraps it around the sylph, her wings fall off and she dies, while Effie marries another and James is left with nothing.
