A
COMEDY ballet of weighty elegance and adorable humour takes to the stage at the Royal Spa Centre in Leamington on Thursday as The Bill Ballet comes to town.
In his first season with the all-male
comedy ballet troupe Les Ballets Grandiva, Ian Archer-Wafters is dancing as Ashley Merrill-Lynch.
NEAR the end of their UK tour, presented by Raymond Gubbay, the talented Russian company charmed a large Black Country audience with their one-night performance of this
comedy ballet, danced to the music of Delibes.
The Moscow Ballet will be visiting the Royal Spa Centre in Leamington on Tuesday with
comedy ballet Coppelia.
Artistic Director Jonas Kage gave Ballet West audiences a season opener rich in laughter as the humorous and complex characters of Shakespeare's prose took the stage in John Cranko's only full-length
comedy ballet, The Taming of the Shrew.
Bedells also succeeded in reconstructing a lost
comedy ballet, The Prospect Before Us, which de Valois had created in 1940 to exploit the dramatic talents of Robert Helpmann.
As one of the most popular
comedy ballets in history, Coppelia enjoys a rare status - it offers something for everyone.
