MEDIA ALERT – May 7, 2018 The Bolshoi Ballet’s Splendid Production of ‘Coppelia’ Broadcast to U.S. Movie Theaters for a One-Day Event on Sunday, June 10 WHAT: The incomparable Bolshoi Ballet brings its production of the classic comedic ballet “Coppelia” to cinemas nationwide on Sunday, June 10, for one day only. Captured live from Moscow’s legendary Bolshoi Theatre earlier that same day, the performance marks the final production of the 2017-18 Bolshoi Ballet in Cinema Series, presented by Fathom Events in partnership with BY Experience and Pathé Live. Details regarding the 2018-19 series will be announced soon. The Bolshoi’s unique version of “Coppelia” exhibits a fascinating reconstruction by Russian ballet-master Sergei Vikharev in 2009 based on legendary choreographer Marius Petipa’s original 19th century choreographic notations currently archived at Harvard University Theatre Collection. The cheerful comedy features a feisty heroine, a boyish fiancé with a wandering eye, and an old dollmaker. Also not-to-be-missed is the company’s stunning corps de ballet in the divertissements and famous “dance of the hours,” and its principals abounding in youthful energy and irresistible humor.

Reviving Ballet in the Nineteenth Century: Music, Narrative, and Dance in Delibes's Coppélia by Arthur E. Lafex Submitted To
Reviving Ballet in the Nineteenth Century: Music, Narrative, and Dance in Delibes’s Coppélia By Copyright 2013 Arthur E. Lafex Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music. ________________________________ Chairperson Alicia Levin ________________________________ Paul R. Laird ________________________________ David Alan Street Date Defended: April 15, 2013 The Thesis Committee for Author (Arthur E. Lafex) certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Reviving Ballet in the Nineteenth Century: Music, Narrative, and Dance in Delibes’s Coppélia ________________________________ Chairperson Alicia Levin Date approved: April 15, 2013 ii Abstract Léo Delibes (1836-1891) wrote ballet scores that have inspired composers and have entertained generations of ballet lovers. His scores have been cited for their tunefulness, appropriateness for their narrative, and for their danceability. However, Delibes remains an obscure figure in music history, outside the musical canon of the nineteenth century. Likewise, his ballet music, whose harmonic resources are conventional and whose forms are variants of basic structures, has not received much scholarly and theoretical attention. This thesis addresses Delibes’s music by examining his ballet score for Coppélia, its support of narrative and also its support of dance. Chapter 1 begins with a historical view of ballet and ballet music up to the time of Delibes. Following a biographical sketch of the composer, a review of aspects of the score for Giselle by his mentor, Adolphe Adam (1803-1856) establishes a background upon which Delibes’s ballets can be considered.

Is This a Petipa Dance We Are Watching
Is it a Petipa dance we are watching? To answer this question, I focus on dance movement style in one particular Petipa ballet; but in doing so, I seek to go further and to raise a more fundamental issue, namely, how we should distinguish between classroom technique and art? Petipa dances present a specific example of the problem that arises when choreographers draw on the classroom lexicon, or danse d’école, as a basis for their choreography – something that leads dancers and rehearsal directors to conflate the values of the classroom with those of the dance. Using a dance from The Sleeping Beauty (1890) as a framework, I explore the issue of dance art and the question of what, if anything, links performance of classroom technique with performance of the art work?1 To discuss dance art in relation to Petipa, I need to identify Petipa’s dance movement style.2 The danse d’école is not art, but Petipa’s dance is considered to be so, and that means analysing the ways in which Petipa’s choice of movement, use of space and phrasing, is different from that of the classroom; and demonstrating, in consequence, that it should not be performed the same way. A difficulty is that training affects aesthetic values and encourages dancers to move in a specific way (Morris, 2003). But, when the values inherent in the training are alien to those in place when the dance was conceived, performances can reflect more contemporary concerns, potentially leading to a focus on technique rather than on the expressive elements of the dances.

T. A. Hoffmann: Der Sandmann (The Sandman) and Die Puppe (The Doll). Dr. Coppélius is an inventor who has made a life-size dancing doll. It is so lifelike that Franz, a village youth, becomes infatuated with it and sets aside his true heart's desire, Swanhilda. She shows him his folly by dressing as the doll, pretending to make it come to life and ultimately saving him from an untimely end at the hands of the inventor. Coppélia was a trail blazer. Coppélia was the first ballet to incorporate traditional dances and music, including national dances like the Czárdás (Hungarian) and the Mazurka (Polish.) Coppélia was the first (and only) ballet to be danced by Guiseppina Bozzacchi, the 16 year old ballerina who originated the lead role of Swanhilda. In fact, Coppélia was the first time Guiseppina Bozzacchi ever danced ballet on stage. Coppélia was the first ballet to use automata, marionettes or automatized dolls.
