Sylvia, originally Sylvia, ou La nymphe de Diane, is a full-length ballet in two or three acts, first choreographed by Louis Mérante to music by Léo Delibes in 1876. Sylvia is a typical classical ballet in many respects, yet it has many interesting features that make it unique. The work is notable for its mythological Arcadian setting, creative choreographies, expansive sets and, above all, its remarkable score.

There is a very famous romantic poem about a Sylvia, that many older people learn in school in Italy. I had the whole poem recited to me by a teacher/lecturer in Rome. Unfortunately I was not able to understand most of it, however it was a wonderful experience and was partially translated for me. It tells of a broken heart and tragedy. My name is Sylvia and I have German and Italian ancestry.

Sylvia is the name of SE Hinton's character in the Outsiders. Sylvia is a minor character only mentioned in the book, and has not made any appearances in either book or movie. Sylvia is a greaser girl, and also the girlfriend of Dallas Winston, who she cheated on while he was in the cooler. It was also mentioned that before, when Dallas was in reform school, she tried sweet-talking Johnny Cade, one of the gang, and was then threatened that she would get the tar beaten out of her by Steve Randle. Needless to say, she laid low after that one.
