Balanchine's works will also be the stars of two other evenings. Selections from “Swan Lake”; “Stars and Stripes”; “The Steadfast Tin Soldier,” commissioned by SPAC in 1975; and a 50th anniversary celebration of “Coppelia” will be performed July 12 and 13. “Coppelia,” which had its world premiere in 1974 at SPAC, will feature local youth.

A review of English National Ballet by Sarah Crompton in The Observer.

Quote

Mary Skeaping’s 1971 production of this great Romantic ballet for English National Ballet, however, has the merit of reminding us just why, in 1841, it too was full of the shock of the new. A story about the exploitation of the lower classes; an eerie supernatural second act; a heroine dancing on pointe shoes, light as a feather, seeming to materialise out of the air; a ballerina taking centre stage for the first time.
