Emelya is an original, brand new children’s ballet based on Russian folk tales, invented and embodied by our artistic director Yanina Mikhaylyuk. This is a story about young luckless guy named Emelya /Rus: Емеля/, who caught the magic pike. In exchange for freedom, a magic pike fulfills all Emelya’s desires. In the end Emelya took a ride on a big rustic wood stove to the capital and won the love of princess Nesmeyana /Rus: Несмеяна/….

This grand production is a work of the students of middle and upper levels of Art School Ellen’s ballet department.
The Coppelia ballet has recently celebrated its 144 year anniversary. Beautiful music by Leo Delibes never goes out of fashion and cannot get stale. The music makes you dance, it is eloquent and stirs the imagination.
Our version of Coppélia suggests that our desires are sometimes meaningless. In pursuit of a dream, one can forget about what is most important — the people close to you. But the light of your loved one’s eyes always beckons stronger than anything else. Beautiful acting and brilliant ballet technique are demonstrated by both Swanhildas performed by our students Andrea Freed and Niki Venogopal.
