The spring show will consist of three performances:

Coppelia:
This ballet shares the story of the eccentric Doctor Coppelius, who creates a doll (Coppelia) for companionship. The doll appears so lifelie that she captures the attention of Franz, a young village youth, who is engaged to be married to Swanhilda! Upset that her true love is infatuated with another, Swanhilda realizes Coppelia for the doll she is and dons Coppelia’s clothing to trick Franz. Confusion, mayhem and comedy ensue!

Daphnis & Chloe:
This original work shares the the dreamy tale of Daphnis and Chloe and how this romantic pair were brought together by nymphs and the Syrinx.

‘Hello! Goodbye!’ performed by GinDance:
This dance was inspired by the extraordinary artist Mary Ann Mear’s dynamic sculpture ‘Reston Rondo,’ installed at Hyatt Park, the gateway to Reston Town Center. GinDance Company takes a humorous, cheerful, and whimsical look at the role of the ‘Reston Rondo.’
