A ballet rom-com

The Placer Theatre Ballet has been practicing its choreography and honing its stage skills to perform the lighthearted Coppélia, aided by the wonderful music of composer Léo Delibes. Unlike other cities that do not spend time nor money on their set pieces or wardrobe, this crew will be adorned in some of the most lavish costumes seen in quite some time. Additionally, the young cast will showcase some of the greatest talents in the Sacramento Valley and beyond. The event will help the nonprofit ballet company, which opens its doors for so many talented young folks who would otherwise remain unknown. If you're into theatrical dance or would someday like to get your child involved, there has never been a better opportunity to see his or her reaction to a live production. Perhaps a rising star is living right under your own roof. Coppélia; 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, April 18; noon and 5 p.m. Sunday, April 19; $16-$24.
