This article presents the author's views on The Royal Danish Ballet like the Sadler's Wells, which offers the pleasure of seeing a permanent subsidized company dance in richly mounted and carefully prepared productions with the easy assurance and precision achieved by years of study and rehearsal and performance together. Another facet of interest is the company's repertory. Since its opening of the Royal theatre in Copenhagen in 1748, it offers works of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries-Galeotti's The Whims of Cupid (1786), Bournonville's famous La Sylphide (1836) and his Napoli (1842), which have been kept in the repertory since their premieres.
