PeggyR Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I almost fainted when I saw the USD price (just under $50), but it's got to be worth it: just look at that cast for Les Sylphides... BTW in case anyone missed it, on the ICArtists link referenced above, if you select the tab for media (or multimedia, forget which), there a (too) brief clip from the Giselle. Link to comment

I think if you're willing to hold out for the American release, you could get it for a lot less. ICA DVDs sell for $22.49 on Amazon.com, and the release date is usually delayed by only a month.

Mashinka Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The BBC must own a treasure chest of ballet footage stretching back to the 1930's. I was told it has never been released onto commercial DVD's because of problems with royalties. Does this particular release signal a change of heart? If so I hope it proves the opening of the floodgates. Link to comment
volcanohunter Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 The North American release date is June 28. Amazon has the title filed as Sylphides / Giselle. Link to comment
