Description
1 image. Ballet master arrival, 13 July 1959. Niels Bjorn Larsen. (Handout). Supplementary material reads: "Greek Theatre. 2700 N. Vermont. Niels Bjorn Larsen, the world's most celebrated Dr. Coppelius, arrives at the Los Angeles Airport via Scandinavian Arlines System direct from Copenhagen, where he is a ballet master and principal dancer with the Royal Danish Ballet, to rehearse for the Greek Theatre presentation of the gaily sparkling full-length ballet, 'Coppelia,' to be given Monday through Saturday nights, July 20 to 25. Enacting the character of Dr. Coppelius, Larsen will join the famous prima ballerina Alicia Alonso, who dances the central role of Swanilda, and Igor Youskevitch, today's leading male dancer, as the romantic Franz. Miss Alonso also is staging the vivacious three-act ballet for the James A. Doolittle production to the zestful Delibes music".
