Overview
In this Arcadian love story, set in mythical Greece amid a realm of otherworldly creatures and verdant forests, the deity Eros intervenes to unite the chaste nymph Sylvia with the lovelorn shepherd Aminta. The splendid score by Léo Delibes was so admired by Tchaikovsky that he purportedly declared: had he known the music existed at the time, he would never have composed Swan Lake!
