Coppélia's Real Girl: Swanilda

This classic comedic ballet may be named after the mechanical Coppélia, and its leading men may alternately fall for her stiff-armed charms, but the ballet is actually Swanilda’s story of bravery in the wake of romantic disappointment. The role requires a range of skills for a performer, especially the role-playing central to the comic second act, and we spoke toTiler Peck, Sterling Hyltin, and Erica Pereira on the challenges of playing a girl pretending to be a doll.

Writer Ellen O'Connell Whittet speaks to Principal Dancers Sterling Hyltin and Andrew Veyette, and Corps Members Daniel Applebaum and Harrison Coll on what makes dancing a Robbins ballet such a unique experience, and how Robbins' dancers look like people we know, dancing together in a world we recognize, telling stories through their bodies' natural responses to the music.

Russell Janzen on Glass Pieces

As dancer Russell Janzen notes, Jerome Robbins’ Glass Pieces may be an abstract ballet with an experimental score by Phillip Glass, yet it’s also rooted in the real world, especially the feeling of driving, pulsing undercurrents found just by walking through New York City. See it on the Classic NYCB program, MAY 24, 29, 30, 31.
