29 January - 1 February 2015.
Darlington
Civic Theatre is delighted to welcome back to Theatre The Russian State
Ballet & Orchestra of Siberia
with three great ballet masterpieces. Formed in 1981, The
Russian State Ballet of Siberia has quickly established itself as one of Russia’s leading
ballet companies and has built an international reputation for delivering
performances of outstanding quality and unusual depth. The soloists and corps
de ballet are superb and never fail to delight audiences with their
breath-taking physical ability and dazzling costumes.
Coppélia
Thursday
29 January at 7.30pm
Every toy has a
story, especially in this charming comedy of errors, a witty combination of
antics and abracadabra, set in a doll maker’s workshop. This light-hearted tale
of mistaken identity and confused lovers follows mischievous Swanilda, her
impetuous suitor Franz and the eccentric toymaker Dr.Coppelius as they are
brought to life by sparkling choreography and the animated score of Delibes.
Coppélia is perfect for first-time ballet goers, families and everyone in
between.
Swan Lake
Friday,
30 January at 7.30pm
The greatest
romantic ballet of all time is brought to life by Tchaikovsky’s haunting and
unforgettable score. From the impressive splendour of the Palace ballroom to
the moon-lit lake where swans glide in perfect formation this compelling tale
of tragic romance has it all. From Odile, the temptress in black tulle as she
seduces the Prince by spinning with captivating precision to the spellbound
purity of the swan queen, Odette as she flutters with emotional intensity, the
dual role of Odette/Odile is one of ballet’s most unmissable technical
challenges.
The
Nutcracker
Saturday
31 January at 2.30pm & 7.30pm
Sunday
1 February 2.30pm
This most
famous of fantasy ballets for all the family begins as night falls on Christmas
Eve.
As snowflakes
fall outside, the warm glow of the open fire sends flickering shadows across the
boughs of the Christmas tree and all the presents beneath. When midnight strikes we are
swept away to a fairy-tale world where nothing is quite as it seems, toy dolls
spring to life, the Mouse-king and his mouse-army battle with the Nutcracker
Prince and we travel through the Land of Snow to an enchanted place
where the magic really begins...
