Did You Know?
Coppelia was first performed by SBRI in the State of RI in 1962 at
Veterans Memorial Auditorium. At that time founding prima ballerina
Herci Marsden danced the role of Swanhilda.
SBRI holds true to the art form of classical ballet, preserving culture and tradition in motion. Many of the costumes worn, the props carried, and the scenery hung are decades old. The story of Coppélia is historic, as it was performed for the first time in Paris in 1870. New dancers, costumes, and audience members come with each passing year–and these fresh aspects blend with the traditional to become a masterpiece of creating, presenting and preserving this production for past and future generations of ballet lovers.
