The Stapleton Ballet Youth Company, featuring over eighty dancers ages 8 to 18, will present "Repertory Works & Coppelia" on Saturday March 31 and Sunday April 1st at The Playhouse in San Anselmo. Performance times are 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. each day.
The show will consist of Repertory Works performed by the advanced level Company dancers. Guest choreographers Jetta Martin, Wilhelmina Frankfurt, and Cynthia Anne Stanley have set four different pieces, using eighteen company dancers. These exciting pieces range from the traditional to the contemporary, showcasing the talents of Stapleton Ballet's advanced dancers.
The show will also feature Coppelia, a fanciful three-act story ballet with a duration of under one hour, making it perfect for young audiences. This condensed version of the classic, light-hearted ballet tells the enchanting story of Doctor Coppelius, who has created a life-size dancing doll, named Coppelia. When the local boy, Franz, falls in love with the doll, his betrothed Swanhilda resorts to trickery to teach him a lesson!
