    La Sylphide / A Doll's House
    Now Through June 15
    Wortham Theater Center
    Danish choreographer August Bournonville created La Sylphide in 1836 - to the delight of audiences ever since. When a young Scottish farmer abandons his bride-to-be for a beautiful winged creature, he offends not only the wedding party but the witch who predicted his defection. La Sylphide, the oldest ballet in existence, is presented with one of the newest, A Doll's House. The work depicts a pitched battle between the dolls in a toy store after the shop closes, and features vibrantly colorful, wildly theatrical costumes.
    Please note: A Doll's House contains brief, stylized images of violence and conflict. Age recommendation: 12 and above.
    A Doll's House will not be danced at the performance on Saturday, June 14 at 2:00 pm.
    For tickets or more information visit www.houstonballet.org or 713-227-ARTS.
