New York City Ballet: Coppelia at David H Koch Theater

New York City Ballet: Coppelia

This delightful masterpiece performed by the iconic New York City Ballet tells the enchanting story of a whimsical inventor and his astonishing creation. This lifelike doll sparks both curiosity and chaos in a quaint village. For more than a century, Copplia has been enchanting audiences. In 1974, when Balanchine decided to add Copplia to NYCB's repertory, he took the opportunity to update the ballet, adding some male solos gently, more pas de deux, and a new third act.

American Ballet Theatre - Crime and Punishment at David H Koch Theater

American Ballet Theatre - Crime and Punishment

American Ballet Theatre dives into one of the greatest works of literature in history with a balletic adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's magnum opus Crime and Punishment. Considered one of the greatest literary works of all time, the torment and existentialist themes in this profound psychological drama give plenty of material for James Bonas (director) and Helen Picket (choreographer) to create a hauntingly stunning work of ballet.
