The magic of Coppelia: Classical ballet at the Bolshoi Theater
Ballet splendor returns to the stage with new life! The premiere of the mesmerizing masterpiece "Coppelia", edited by Sergei Vikharev, invites viewers on a fascinating journey through times and cultures.
Leo Delibes' magnificent work, Coppelia, is again in the spotlight, and this time under the magical gaze of leading soloist and choreographer Sergei Vikharev. Vikharev, who became a true admirer of the work of Marius Petipa and one of the leading representatives of ballet authenticism in Russia, restored the unique edition of “Coppelia” from 1894.
The history of this ballet, born at the Paris Opera in 1870, has become an integral part of the cultural heritage. Saint-Leon, who mixed fantasy and comic history in this work, set the tone for future generations. The premiere of the new edition of the ballet at the Bolshoi Theater was a real triumph and a recreation of the ideal artistic order.
Recreated ballet "Coppelia" by Sergei Vikharev – This is an immersion into a magical world where classics and modernity merge. Incredible transparency, clarity and order become key elements of this exciting production.
The audience is invited to this exciting performance, where every movement of the dancer – it's magic, and every note of music – magic. Tickets are already on sale, don’t miss the chance to plunge into a whirlwind of beauty and talent on the stage of the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theater!
