Delibes - Sylvia Movie Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Sylvia, correctly realized at last
Not only have Eurotrash productions taken over opera, but have invaded the world of ballet as well. Thankfully, here is a classic production that presents Delibes ballet in a manner that the composer would recognize. Dancing, costumes, and scenery come together in perfect consort without some stupid director trying to update or minimalize things. Forget that other DVD and start out correctly with this one.

Delibes - Sylvia DVD Darcey Bussell and Roberto Bolle star in Frederick Ashton's Sylvia, restored to the splendour of its elegant and opulent three-act form for the 75th anniversary celebrations of The Royal Ballet. Taken from Greek mythology, it tells the story
of Sylvia, loved by Aminta, abducted by Orion and eventually rescued by Eros.
Ashton was inspired by the music of Léo Delibes to create such great choreographic sequences as the famous Act 3 pas de deux and the mischievous role of Eros, one of the delightful, darkly comic characterisations for which Ashton became known and loved. Sylvia is a wonder ful showcase for virtuosity, invention and classical beauty, the epitome of Ashton style in stage settings of great detail and painterly perfection.
