Bolshoi Ballet's LA SYLPHIDE to Screen at Carmike Cinemas, 10/7 & 9

Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (NASDAQ: CKEC), a leading DIGITAL cinema and 3D motion picture exhibitor, today announces that it is proud to be joining the Emerging Pictures network of cinemas. Carmike Cinemas and Emerging Pictures is proud to present La Sylphide.

La Sylphide is one of the world’s oldest surviving romantic ballets, dating back to August Bournonville’s 1836 version. The version presented today has been adapted by choreographer Johan Kobborg, and gleams anew at the Bolshoi Ballet. In La Sylphide, the human realm of a small Scottish community – evoked by traditional folk songs in Herman Løvenskiold’s score – meets the spiritual when James, a classic Romantic hero, is utterly bewitched by a beautiful sylph whom he is unable to touch.

Opera and Ballet in Cinema can be seen exclusively at your local Carmike theatre. Tickets can be purchased online at www.carmike.com, www.fandango.com or at the box office.
