French comic ballet to hit Ho Chi Minh City stage next week

One of France’s most popular ballets will be performed late next week in Ho Chi Minh City, the organizer said Wednesday in a press release.

The “Coppélia” ballet will be staged by the Ho Chi Minh City Ballet Symphony Orchestra and Opera (HBSO) at 8:00 pm on August 28 and 29 at the Municipal Theater at 7 Cong Truong Lam Son Street, District 1.

“Coppélia,” considered one of the greatest comic ballets of the 19th century, has remained one of the best-loved classical works in the ballet repertory.

The ballet includes melodic national dances, musical descriptions that introduce the main characters, and spectacular effects that hold the interest of the audience.

The music of “Coppélia” links two great historical periods of ballet – the French Romantic style and the Russian Classical style.

The performance features the choreography and direction of famous Norwegian choreographer Johanne Jakhelln Constant, who has made HBSO’s productions of “The Nutcracker” and “Cinderella” huge successes.

The ballet belongs to one of the projects supported by Transposition Program, a collaborative organization of Norway and Vietnam aiming to promote the Southeast Asian country’s musical development.
