Wed, Jul 15 - 18, 2009	35th Anniversary of SPAC's commisioning of Coppélia 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. This staging by Balanchine and Alexandra Danilova - who was considered a definitive Swanilda - also contains the most authentic of the character dances. In Act III, which is totally Balanchine's, the story becomes secondary, as the village festivities are presented as a series of dances, culminating in an all-encompassing grand finale. See Coppelia performed: July 15 at 8:00 pm July 17 at 8:00 pm July 18 at 2:00 pm More Info
