As a professional ballet company, dancers rehearse full time with Cleveland Ballet for the entire season. In addition, choreographer Oller builds dances and dramatic moments around Cleveland Ballet company members, ensuring a strong and unique-to-Cleveland world premiere production. Coppélia tells the story of Swanhilda and Frantz whose carefree romance is threatened when Frantz becomes infatuated with the beautiful Coppélia. Frantz does not know that his heart belongs to a lifesize doll created by the towns toy maker Dr. Coppélius. Because Franzs passion for Coppelia is so great he pushes aside his true love, Swanhilda. Eager to win back Franzs heart, Swanhilda dresses like the doll Coppélia fooling both men into believing the doll has come to life. The danger mounts as Dr. Coppélius seeks to keep the living doll hidden from the world while Frantz tries to run away with his new-found love.

Reminder: Tri-C West to open "The Art of Dining" tonight!
by Gloor, Fred via NEohioPAL 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

"The Art of Dining" By Tina Howe Directed by Robert Ellis Cal and Ellen are the owners and sole staff of a small, elegant gourmet restaurant. Cal's main preoccupation is paying back the $75,000 it cost to start it up, and that means packing in the customers. Chef Ellen is preoccupied with the food's quality and stopping Cal from sampling the ingredients. The diners act out their own private dramas over dinner and their conversations are exquisite burlesques of contemporary attitudes. There's a sensual middle aged couple who go into paroxysms of ecstasy just reading the menu and then there's three crass chic young career women. Finally, there's Elizabeth, a maladroit, shy and neurotic writer who's dining with her prospective publisher. Her actions and conversation are unintentionally hilarious and a delicious example of how not to act and what not to talk about while dining. Cast: Ellen - Kennedy Ellis Cal - Gordon Hinchen Hannah Galt - Gabi DeFelice Paul Galt - Carter Ellis Elizabeth Barrow Colt - Kaitlyn Levigne Herrick Simmons - Julia Watson Nessa Vox - Jasmine Alshabani Tony Stassio - Liana Chapman David Osslow - Jon Heus Performances are April 22, 23, 28, 29, 30 @ 8:00pm, April 24 & May 1st @ 2pm and a Matinee performance on April 28 @ 10:30am Tickets: $10 - Adult, $8 Non Tri-C Student & Faculty/Staff.

THE MET: ELEKTRA Free Ticket Giveaway
by Andi Barnett via NEohioPAL 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

You have the chance to attend ELEKTRA, the final opera in THE MET: LIVE IN HD 2015-2016 series! Click the link and enter to win tickets for April 30 or May 4 - http://tinyurl.com/jj2xk2v The genius director Patrice Chéreau (From the House of the Dead) didn't live to see his great Elektra production, previously presented in Aix and Milan, make it to the stage of the Met. But his overpowering vision lives on with soprano Nina Stemme - unmatched today in the heroic female roles of Strauss and Wagner - who portrays Elektra's primal quest for vengeance. Legendary mezzo-soprano Waltraud Meier is chilling as Elektra's fearsome mother, Klytämnestra. Soprano Adrianne Pieczonka and bass Eric Owens are Elektra's troubled siblings. Chéreau's musical collaborator, Esa-Pekka Salonen, conducts.

Come Celebrate the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare's Death with An Ohio Premier!
by Gary Maher via NEohioPAL 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

William Shakespeare passed away 400 years ago this month and every 100 years or so it's time for him to roll over. Enter the Hudson Players current production of People vs Friar Laurence - The Man Who Killed Romeo and Juliet. An Ohio premier, this hilarious musical comedy, by Ron West and Phil Swann, is told in a style that combines The Second City, Monty Python and Shakespeare all in one great show! With a small core of actors playing a wide variety of roles, the show has quick changes and an even faster pace, resulting in rapid fire humor. After all, what better way to celebrate Shakespeare's death than with a show that would have killed him with laughter? The show begins with Friar Laurence from Romeo and Juliet fame, behind bars and charged with the murder of the two young lovers. The twisted trial progresses into a Vaudeville-like mayhem in the race to determine the plot behind the ultimate blame for Romeo and Juliet's demise at the feet of Friar Laurence. The fast-moving freight train of characters and non-stop Shakespearean spoof of adventure takes the audience on a musical journey of love, confusion and chaos. The show, a smash hit for Chicago Shakespeare Theater, is the funniest mash up of Shakespeare, sketch comedy, and American theater you've ever seen (with a lot of fun music thrown in to boot). The show runs April 29, 30, May 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 27 & 28. Tickets can be purchase via the Hudson Players website at www.HudsonPlayers.com <http://www.HudsonPlayers.com> or via phone at 330-655-8522. Don't miss this great opportunity to see a fun, different, musical comedy and Ohio premier. "The People vs. Friar Laurence does to Romeo and Juliet what Mel Brooks did to Robin Hood and westerns, though it may be even wittier." -Lansing City Pulse
