Continental Ballet Company presents Coppelia at the Schneider Theater in the Bloomington Center for the Arts.
This delightful ballet mixes razor-sharp story mime with bravura classical ballet. It tells a humorous story as a young man has a crush on a beautiful girl sitting on a balcony. His girlfriend is bit jealous and tries to meet the new girl. When she is unresponsive, a group of villagers sneak into the house and discover the truth. Much humor and confusion takes place but in the end, true love wins over. This ballet is a fresh, funny performance appropriate for all ages and a fun way to welcome spring!
