...third act of “Coppélia” is entirely Balanchine’s own work, as the focus shifts from the storyline to the dancing itself. In the Festival of the Bells, the townspeople celebrated their new village bell tower in front of a breathtaking set; the wings were adorned with bouquets while garlands and bells hung from above.

Last month, the website announced a planned test to start sharing users' personal details with handpicked third-party websites to help those sites better personalize their services to people.
