Les Sylphides - Carla Fracci and Charles Jude

LES SYLPHIDES, 1909, with Carla Fracci as Anna Pavlova and Charles Jude as Vaslav Nijinski. In 1987 a two-part television programme called The Ballerinas featured Carla Fracci, with some of the top male dancers of the period, in a series of reconstructions putting various ballets and their interpretors in an historical context. Fracci was an amazingly youthful 51 when she danced these extracts.
