The Bolshoi’s unique version of “Coppelia” exhibits a fascinating reconstruction by Russian ballet-master Sergei Vikharev in 2009 based on legendary choreographer Marius Petipa’s original 19th century choreographic notations currently archived at Harvard University Theatre Collection. The cheerful comedy features a feisty heroine, a boyish fiancé with a wandering eye, and an old dollmaker. Also not-to-be-missed is the company’s stunning corps de ballet in the divertissements and famous “dance of the hours,” and its principals abounding in youthful energy and irresistible humor.
