American Repertory Ballet presents Spirit of the Highlands (after La Sylphide)

Saturday, March 08, 2025 @ 7:00pm



New Brunswick Performing Arts Center (NBPAC)
11 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ 08901

American Repertory Ballet presents the breathtaking world premiere of Ethan Stiefel’s Spirit Of The Highlands. An adaptation of the well-known Bournonville ballet La Sylphide, Spirit Of The Highlands re-imagines the tale of a Scotsman's romantic pursuit of a mystical forest spirit. Stiefel traces his mother's family roots back to the Scottish Highland Clan Munro, and will infuse his own authentic Scottish heritage into the choreography and overall design aesthetics of this lively and bewitching ballet. Partnering once again with Howard C. Jones (scenic design), Janessa Cornell Urwin (costume design), and Joseph Walls (lighting design), Stiefel assembles an extraordinary creative team to help fully realize his artistic vision. 

Spirit of the Highlands is made possible by a generous Leading Sponsor gift from The Ted & Mary Jo Shen Charitable Gift Fund.

Additional production support comes from B. Sue Howard and the E.J. Grassmann Trust.
