DESCRIPTION:Jul 9-11\, 2026\nThe Royal Ballet’s production of Sylvia prem
 iered at the Royal Opera House\, Covent Garden\, in 1952\, with choreograp
 hy by Frederick Ashton. He used Léo Delibes delicate\, sparkling score fr
 om the 1876 Paris premiere of the ballet\, and created a Wedgwood realm\, 
 distinctly English\, of mythological forests and pastoral amours. The ball
 et was fashioned around the Royal’s star ballerina\, Margot Fonteyn\, wh
 o was handsomely partnered by Michael Somes. Ashton’s Sylvia wasn’t pe
 rformed after 1965\, and come the new century it was thought to be lost. E
 xcept it wasn’t. Christopher Newton\, a former ballet master under Ashto
 n\, was able to reconstruct it from memory and film clips. His restoration
  came back into Royal Ballet repertory in 2004 and into American Ballet Th
 eatre’s in 2005. If you haven’t seen the ballet\, here’s your chance
 . It is bliss in every detail\, a beautifully conceived and costumed confe
 ction. No other Sylvia can touch it. Five of ABT’s principal women will 
 each have a chance to dance the title role of Sylvia\, a chaste forest nym
 ph loyal to the huntress Diana. She thinks she doesn’t believe in love\,
  until she’s struck by one of its arrows.
