Danish ballet set in Scotland
Tomorrow's Washington Post reports that the Washington Ballet, with the co-operation of the Royal Danish Ballet, plans to produce August Bournonville's La Sylphide at Kennedy Center's Eisenhower Theatre February 11-15, 2009. This ballet, which has a Scottish setting, is described in Sarah Kaufman's article as "a feast of kilts and tartans". There are three photos of male dancers in kilts in the print version of the article, but the only one I could find online is this one from a Danish production in the 1880's.
