Description Transfigured Night: Jiri Kylian, is set to Schonberg's rich and intensely powerful music of the same title.This thought-provoking work is a masterpiece of psychological insight and drama, sure to exhilarate audiences in the true Kylian style.
La Sylphide: August Bournonville, is exquisitely stylish and gentle pioneering the Romantic era of dance. Scottish legend, folk-lore, a flirtatious Sylphide and a scheming witch are all essential ingredients of this classic story.
