backstagemom Report post Posted September 7, 2013 DD's company is performing Coppelia. DD is dancing in Waltz of the Hours and Mazurda. I've watched the Bolshoi version, and several of the dances on YouTube. I've also read the storyline, but I can't figure out which dance is in which act. I guess it will all unfold as I see it, but I'm curious, and I've googled to no avail. Can anyone give me a simple order of things (in particular the order of the dances/variations)?

Hans Report post Posted September 9, 2013 I believe the Bolshoi reconstruction is on Youtube with both Alexandrova and Osipova. It is an excellent production, and I recommend watching it! Share this post Link to post
ascballerina Report post Posted September 9, 2013 Alexandrova Part 1 Alexandrova Part 2 Alexandrova Part 3 Osipova's version seems to have been taken down; I had it bookmarked, and it says deleted video. Share this post Link to post
