February 9 Coppélia
Chamberlain Performing Arts presents a charming comic ballet— Coppélia, staged by Phillip Broomhead, the famed former Ballet Master of Houston Ballet. Coppélia features guest artists Mishic Marie Liberatore, former senior soloist with Cincinnati Ballet, as the inquisi- tive young Swanhilda, and Dallas Blagg, a former soloist with the Zurich Ballet, in the role of lovesick Franz. Val Liberatore, who danced professionally with Pittsburgh Ballet Theater, Fort Worth Dallas Ballet (now Texas Ballet Theater) and Cincinnati Ballet, per- forms the role of the eccentric Dr. Coppélius. Handsome boy meets pretty girl and falls in love. But it's complicated. The boy is also infatu- ated with a doll he has spied upon a balcony. Perhaps this kid has bad eyesight; perhaps he's not too bright. Either way he doesn't know she's a doll. Miffed by wonder boy's admiration for the other gal, the real girl and her girlfriends break into the doll maker's house (Did we mention the wacky village doll maker?). Relieved to discover the other gal is actually just a doll, the real girl pulls a prank on the doll maker and pretends to be the doll. Naturally, the doll maker falls for it. And that's just the beginning... February 9, 2013 at 7:30 pm in the Hill Performance Hall, Eisemann Center, 2351 Performance Drive, Richardson, TX 75082. $10-$100. (972) 744-4650.

“Combining voluptuous physicality with classical technique… Cedar Lake is one of the most exciting companies performing today.” New York’s Joyce Theater. The New York-based company is taking the dance world by storm with its combination of exquisite classical tech- nique and edgy physicality. The result, says The New York Times, "…pulls viewers right out of their seats…" with its "…weird and wonderful poetry of the body." The Village Voice offers its own assessment of Cedar Lake: "…fierce, athletic and compulsively sensual." Under the leader- ship of artistic director Benoit-Swan Pouffer, Cedar Lake’s Dallas program features new works by some of the world’s most sought after choreographers and composers—including famed Czech choreogra- pher Jirí Kylián, UK-based Hofesh Shechter and Canada’s Crystal Pite. A TITASfavorite, Cedar Lake promises to be a highlight of the 2012-13 dance season. February 9, 2013 at 8:00 pm at the Winspear Opera House, 2403 Flora Street, Dallas, TX 75201. $12-$200.
