"Kobborg’s staging of La Sylphide is the best I know,

the most sensitive to Bournonville’s drama and manner."

- The Guardian UK

"Kobborg has edited...and there results a staging that I think now the best in the world."

- The Spectator UK

"National Ballet of Canada’s La Sylphide is a magical, almost disorienting, experience." - Globe and Mail

"(Kobborg's La Sylphide) is profoundly traditional - yet it has the effect of rinsing clean the material and transforming the dancers."
