Choreographer and Director: Youri Vŕmos

2^nd July 2007., Croatian National Theatre Ivan pl. Zajc at 21:00

Guest performance of the Ballet of the Croatian National Theatre from Zagreb
 

The ballet “Coppélia on Montmartre” by Youri Vŕmos was created after the ballet classic “Coppélia” by Lea Delibes, and was first performed in 1982 in Munich. In the last century it has been changed and adapted many times. Vŕmos has reached out for a story, which he situated in the cult-meeting place of artists and bohemians, in Paris’s Montmartre.

“….Vŕmos has created a site for a contemporary dance musical and the consecration of the legendary Montmartre. The choreography reaches deep into space, which is particularly visible in the scenes of happiness, and the audience’s attention can always be directed at some of the wit with which Vŕmos has ‘spiced up’ his “Coppélia”. The ultimate is the ballet scene in Moulin Rouge….”
