La Sylphide is a ballet choreographed by Augustus Bournonville. It tells the story of James Rubens, a Scottish farmer pursued by a sylph on the eve of his wedding to his fiancee Effie. Act 1 is composed of the preparations for the wedding party while Act 2 is James and the sylph dancing in the woodland as everyone else is out searching for them.
There is an earlier version of the choreography by Antonio Taglioni, who created the titular role for his daughter Marie. However, as this choreography has been mostly lost, productions will use that of Bournonville instead.
!! La Sylphide provides examples of
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler: Old Madge gets her revenge on James by tricking him into poisoning the sylph and, in some versions, urging Gurn to propose to Effie. As such she denies him both romantic options.]]
* BettyAndVeronica: James has to choose between his loving fiancee Effie (Betty), and the elusive and free spirited sylph (Veronica). [[spoiler: Thanks to Old Madge, he ends up with neither.]]
** Effie herself has two suitors. James is essentially the Veronica, being the more exciting but less reliable option while Gurn is the Betty as he is definitely the more steadfast one. [[spoiler: She ends up with Gurn.]]
* CassandraTruth: Gurn catches James with the sylph and rushes off to tell Effie. When she returns with her bridesmaids the sylph has disappeared so they assume he made it up out of jealousy.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: James wraps Madge's scarf around the sylph's shoulders and arms so she can't fly away, only for her to lose her wings and die. Then, to rub salt in the wound, Effie and Gurn's wedding procession walks past the sylphs' glade, leading to James collapsing in shock.]]
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: The sylph is a rather literal example as she is very childlike and playful, not to mention an actual fairy. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, her and James's romance ends badly for both of them.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: James is the passionate and lustful Red while Gurn is the calmer, more reliable Blue. In some versions of the ballet, this extends to their costumes where James wears red and Gurn wears blue.
* {{Scotireland}}: The story of the ballet takes place in Scotland because, at the time it was first choreographed, Scotland was seen as a strange and exotic place. To emphasise the point the men all wear kilts and expect a lot of tartan on the non-supernatural characters.
* WickedWitch: Old Madge. She's initially sympathetic as she's simply looking for shelter from the cold outside and she offers to tell everyone's fortunes if they let her stay. Things only go south when she predicts Effie will marry Gurn due to James's infidelity and James promptly throws her out.
