Moments with Sylvie Guillem: One of the greatest ballerinas of all time

Excerpt from "Sylvie Guillem at Work", 1987 A film by André S. Labarthe At just 15, Sylvie Guillem joined the Paris Opera Ballet. By 19, she had become an étoile after dancing in Rudolf Nureyev's Swan Lake, a rare and rapid rise in the ballet world. But despite her success, Guillem remains grounded and fully committed to her craft. This documentary takes us behind the scenes of her daily life: training, rehearsing, and performing. It follows her as she prepares for major roles like Raymonda under Nureyev's direction, takes on Rudi van Dantzig's Four Last Songs, and William Forsythe's In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated. It also captures her powerful performance in Béjart’s La Luna at a special gala.
