Richmond Ballet Presents "Coppélia" at CenterStage

12 Feb 2012 19:00:00 GMT

600 E. Grace St.
Richmond, VA

Sunday, February 12 - 2:00 PM

One of ballet's most charming stories, Coppélia is the comic tale of villagers Swanhilda, her beau Franz, and their encounter with the mysterious toy shop owner, Dr. Coppelius. Swanhilda and Franz's love story is interrupted when Franz turns his gaze to the beautiful girl sitting on Dr. Coppelius' balcony, but she doesn't seem to recognize his advances...in fact, she doesn't seem to move or talk at all because she is really a doll!

While a case of mistaken identity, zany dancing toys, and traditional folk dance ensue, a beautiful classical ballet emerges. Audiences will enjoy Frederic Franklin's lively choreography, all danced to the animated score by Leo Delibes, making this a perfect Valentine's present for the whole family!

Biohazard & Madball at Kingdom

13 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

10 Walnut Alley
Richmond, VA
Sunday, February 12, 2012, 7 – 11pm

Biohazard - www.last.fm…

Biohazard was one of the first bands to regularly incorporate elements of both hip-hop and hardcore metal into their sound; since their lyrical fare dealt with the harshness of urban life and the resulting anger and frustration, which both genres of music have been known to address, the connection only made sense, especially in light of Anthrax's highly effective collaboration with Public Enemy on 1991's "Bring the Noise."
