LE JEUNE HOMME ET LA MORT / LA SYLPHIDE

London Coliseum

Program and ticket for ballet at the London Coliseum

 

I am not a big fan of ballet and probably this was my second time (and also my second time at the Coliseum).

Le Jeune homme et la Mort is a tragic story of a hopeless love, and La Sylphide is another tragedy about a man obsessed by Sylphide. The first piece very dark about love turning into death, and the second is lighter, although tragedy and death are always around the corner.
Both the music and the dance were very beautiful, as the choreography. The main dancers were superb. And I did not fall asleep, so I guess I might reconsider going to the ballet again…ehm…maybe next year!
