2024 Coppelia Audition
Description
Audition Date: Saturday, February 10, 2024
Audition Time: Studio 2, 11:30am-1:30pm
Eligible Students
-Females Only
-Level 4-7 and PPD1-3
-Height requirement: 4'5"-5"3"
-Due to the availability of costumes for the available roles in Colorado Ballet’s production of Coppelia, there are exact height and level requirements. We are unable to make exceptions.
-The choreography will be in flat shoes.
For the first time in 15 years, we invite all registered CBA students who meet the level and height requirements to audition to be part of Colorado Ballet's Coppélia, a widely acclaimed ballet based on two short stories by E.T.A. Hoffmann. Renowned for its charming blend of humor and classical sensibility, Coppélia is a whimsical story of love and mistaken identity. Colorado Ballet’s adaptation features original choreography by Arthur Saint-Léon, staged by Sandra Brown, Lorita Travaglia and Maria Mosina, set to the music of Léo Delibes. The students selected will dance Walt of the Hours in the Act 3 Wedding scene. Waltz of the Hours is an all-student cast, and students will have the opportunity to dance this gorgeous waltz in its entirety within the company production.
If cast in this company production, students will pay a $30 registration fee plus a $125 participation fee.
