Chattanooga Dance Theatre will present the comedic ballet “Coppelia” as part of its Spring Gala during four performances Friday-Sunday, April 12-14, at its studio in Hixson.
Chattanooga Dance Theatre’s Spring Gala will feature its professional performance company as well as intermediate and advanced-level students. The show will be comprised of original choreography as well as the perfomance of “Coppelia.”
The dance tells the story of a town confused by a girl, Coppelia, as she sits in her father’s window and silently reads her book. Swanhilda, a sassy villager in the town, is especially irritated by Coppelia because her fiance, Franz, has taken a special interest in the girl. See how this hilarious story unfolds as Swanhilda and Franz figure out the girl’s secret.
New and contemporary works choreographed by Alisha Cardenas, Abigail Lee-Haynes, Christine Mashburn-Paul, Chloe Russell and Allison Shenton will be performed in the first half of the show.
