HCMC – Performance of Ballet “Coppélia”

28 and 29 Aug 2014, 8 pm
HCMC Opera House

From the organizer:

You are invited to the performance of ballet “Coppélia”.

“Coppelia” will be performed with the choreography and the direction of famous Norwegian choreographer Johanne Jakhelln Constant, who had made productions of “the Nutcracker” and “Cinderella” huge successes.

Coppélia is a comic ballet originally choreographed by Arthur Saint-Léon to the music of Léo Delibes, with libretto by Charles Nuitter. Nuitter’s libretto and mise-en-scène was based upon two stories by ETA Hoffmann: Der Sandmann (The Sandman), and Die Puppe (The Doll).

Coppélia, considered one of the greatest comic ballets of the 19th Century, has remained one of the best-loved classical works in the ballet repertory. Originally choreographed by Arthur St. Léon in 1870, restaged by Petipa in 1884, and revised by Cecchetti in 1894, it has been performed regularly since then. None of St. Léon’s original choreography remains in today’s productions, and although Acts I and II have retained his ideas and story, the nature of some of the roles has changed.
