The ballet has no plot, that is why there is no scenario credit. It is romantic reverie. Les Sylphides is composed of a suite of dances in the romantic atmosphere of a moonlit park. The sylphides, magical figures, like the sylph in La Sylphide, dance with the poet in search of the ideal. The dances are in the following order: 1. Prelude: The curtain rises and all dancers are on stage, posed motionless. 2. Nocturne: an ensemble danced by the whole cast. 3. Waltz: a solo variation performed by a soloist. 4. Mazurka: a solo by the prima ballerina. 5. Mazurka: a solo by the lone male dancer in the cast. 6. Prelude: a solo by a different soloist. 7. Waltz pas de deux for the prima ballerina and the poet. 8. Grand Waltz: the final ensemble.
