Now you have to buy tickets for Coppélia — it’s an Indianapolis Groupon deal, so you get a discount and everything! My roommate showed me the link. You get two tickets for $32, which is even less than I would pay as a student for two tickets with my student rate! At the time of this post, there are about thirteen hours left for the deal. Yes, I am shamelessly advertising now.
In any case, I’m glad to see Butler Ballet on big websites like Groupon. The shows are always more exciting when there is a sizable audience. After all, ballet is a performing art. The audience plays an integral role in what I see as the magic of the stage. Now I’m getting a bit sappy — probably because I’m writing this rather quickly because production week is crazy — please do not judge me too harshly.
The synopsis the Groupon website has for Coppélia is fairly amusing. I suppose this is a comic ballet, so it is only fitting that this version of the libretto is comedic as well.
Aw, too bad…
I’m sorry I wasn’t able to make it. With my national board examination, it left me no time to squeeze anything fun in. I loved your Facebook pictures. My biggest regret this year: not getting to see you perform:(
