Win tickets to the ballet in Hull
Coppélia – 17th January 2023 – 7.30pm at HULL New Theatre – www.hulltheatres.co.uk
Raymond Gubbay is pleased to present Varna International Ballet and Orchestra visiting
the UK for the very first time in their 75-year history with classical performances of SWAN
LAKE, THE NUTCRACKER, COPPÉLIA and GISELLE at Hull New Theatre in January 2023.
Renowned for its award-winning soloists and magnificent corps de ballet, the company has
been delighting audiences for decades at home in Bulgaria and abroad with its
performances of the highest quality.
Swan Lake
The greatest romantic ballet of all time is brought to life by Tchaikovsky’s
haunting and unforgettable score. From the impressive splendour of the Palace ballroom to
the moon-lit lake where swans glide in perfect formation, this compelling tale of tragic
romance has it all. From Odile, the temptress in black tulle as she seduces the Prince by
spinning with captivating precision to the spellbound purity of the swan queen, Odette as she flutters with emotional intensity, the dual role of Odette/Odile is one of ballet’s most
unmissable technical challenges.
Coppélia
Every toy has a story, especially in this charming comedy of errors, a witty
combination of antics and abracadabra, set in a doll maker’s workshop. This lighthearted tale of mistaken identity and confused lovers is perfect for first-time ballet goers, families and everyone in between.
Giselle
The most poignant of all classical ballets is filled with dramatic passion in a chilling and heart-rending tale of love, treachery and forgiveness from beyond the grave. From the visual splendour of the rustic villagers happily gathering the harvest at the start of the story to the eerie moonlit forest haunted by beautifully drifting spirits, this production is unforgettable.
The Nutcracker
This most famous of fantasy ballets for all the family begins as night falls on Christmas Eve. As snowflakes fall outside, the warm glow of the open fire sends flickering shadows across the boughs of the Christmas tree and all the presents beneath. When midnight strikes we are swept away to a fairy-tale world where nothing is quite as it seems, toy dolls spring to life, the Mouse-king and his mouse-army battle with the Nutcracker Prince and we travel through the Land of Snow to an enchanted place where the magic really begins…
