The ballet Coppélia or The Sandman in the interpretation of M. Shemyakin
Abstract
The article examines the reinterpretation of classic ballet on the contemporary stage. In the production of Coppélia at the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theater, Mikhail Shemyakin boldly changed the author’s original idea, choosing to base the libretto only on Hoffmann’s short story The Sandman. This changes the genre of the production from a light comedy to an overwhelming human tragedy.
