Details

Ballet Imaginarie was formed to create a whole new standard for Mid-scale classical Ballet. In order to display the quality of dance, costume, lighting and scenery that will be the trademark of this new Classical Ballet Company. Act Two of Swan Lake brought to life with a quality seldom seen in a touring ballet company's repertoire. The Artist's Dream This ballet is completely new. It has its roots in a ver, very old illusion performed at the Maskelyne and Devant theatre in London. To the basic plot of illusion has been added a fantasy in dance. Strange characters inhabit this dream which is choreographed in classical style, mostly to the music of Dukas' The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Act Two, Coppelia - Again this scene is completely built and designed from new. The original story has been researched to create a ballet that follows the story with all of its humour, surprise and romance. Ballet Imaginaire - Swan Lake/The Artist's Dream/Coppelia website.
