The world premiere of the ballet La Sylphide, created by Filippo Taglioni, took place at the Opéra de Paris in 1832. Four years later, the Danish choreographer August Bournonville presented in Copenhagen his own production, to music by the Norwegian composer Herman von Løvenskiold, with Lucile Grahn dancing the role of the Sylph and Bournonville himself portraying the character of James. A gem of the Romantic repertoire, La Sylphide has ever since been performed at theatres worldwide.
