Les Sylphides is a renowned ballet production that has captivated audiences since its inception. The ballet, often described as a "romantic reverie," is notable for its ethereal and dreamlike quality. It was originally choreographed by Michel Fokine, with music by Frédéric Chopin orchestrated by Alexander Glazunov. The ballet premiered in 1909 by Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.

Georges Barbier, a prominent French illustrator and designer, is celebrated for his exquisite costume and set designs for various theatrical productions, including Les Sylphides. Barbier's involvement in the ballet brought a distinctive visual elegance that complemented the choreography and music. His designs are characterized by their intricate detail, vibrant colors, and a blend of classical and modern elements, which helped to enhance the overall aesthetic of the production.

Les Sylphides is unique in that it does not follow a traditional narrative structure. Instead, it is a plotless ballet that focuses on the mood and atmosphere created by the dancers' movements and the music. The ballet features a corps de ballet of sylphs—mythical, airy spirits—who dance in a moonlit glade, creating an otherworldly ambiance. The principal dancers perform a series of solos, pas de deux, and ensemble pieces that showcase their technical prowess and expressive capabilities.

Barbier's contribution to Les Sylphides is a testament to his artistic versatility and his ability to enhance the storytelling of a ballet through visual means. His designs for the ballet have been praised for their ability to capture the essence of the sylphs' ethereal nature, adding a layer of visual poetry to the performance. Les Sylphides remains a staple in the repertoire of ballet companies worldwide, celebrated for its beauty, simplicity, and the seamless integration of music, dance, and design.
