Ballet at the Garnier

My mom and dad took me out for the weekend while at the Paris Opera ballet summer intensive to see the Opera National de Paris perform La Sylphide at the Palais Garnier. This is one of their older ballets. It’s a story about a guy who is to marry a girl but dreams of marring someone else. Of course there is a witch involved that ruins his plans and the story does not have a happy ending. I will not spoil it for you. The dancing was fabulous and the opera house was amazing. The male lead Mathias Heymann can really jump high. It was also amazing how the corps stayed together. My dad kept bringing up the phantom of the opera since this was the theater that the musical was based on. There was even a large chandelier hanging over our heads since we had orchestra seats. It was a great day.
