Running Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
The Moscow Festival ballet was founded in 1989 when legendary principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet Sergei Radchenko sought to realize his vision of a company which would bring together the highest classical elements of the great Bolshoi and Kirov Ballet companies in an independent new company within the framework of Russian classic ballet. Leading dancers from across Russia have forged under Radchenko’s direction an exciting new company staging new productions of timeless classics. Wharton Center’s engagement will feature Coppélia, a full-length sentimental comic ballet in three acts; music by Leo Delibes; choreography by Arthur Saint-Leon. The story of Coppélia, concerns a mysterious and faintly diabolical inventor, Doctor Coppélius who has made a life-size dancing doll so life-like that Franz, a village swain is infatuated with it, setting aside his true heart’s desire.
