About Coppelia Copp?lia was first performed on May 25, 1870 at the Th?atre Imp?rial de L'Op?ra, featuring choreography by Arthur Saint-L?on and music by L?o Delibes. The work maintains a special place in the history of dance, serving as a kind of bridge from the glory of the French Romantic ballet in the early nineteenth century to the masterpieces of the Russian Imperial Theater at the turn of the century. Writing in The International Dictionary of Ballet, critic Karen Dacko analyzes the unique characteristics of the piece as follows: "Copp?lia owes its longevity to its inspired, very danceable score. But the ballet is also remarkable for its perennial appeal and for its historical significance as Romanticism's grand finale and classical ballet's prologue." Copp?lia first entered Houston Ballet' repertoire in October 1974, in a staging by Frederic Franklin (who also performed the role of Dr. Copp?lius), and featuring scenery by Peter Farmer. In November 1979, former Royal Ballet ballerina Anne Heaton re-staged the work for the company. When Houston Ballet premiered its new production of the work in March 1992 featuring breathtaking d?cor by Desmond Heeley, Carl Cunningham of The Houston Post wrote, "It would be hard to imagine anything to cap the joyous, gentle, and glorious looking new production of Copp?lia the splendidly prepared company of dancers and musicians put forth Thursday evening on Wortham Center's Brown Theater stage." (The Houston Post, March 21, 1992) Heeley's designs for Copp?lia never fail to enchant, most notably in the second-act depiction of Dr. Copp?lius's workshop. The sampling of dolls on display pay homage to the era when automatons, or mechanical toys, were the rage in Europe -- and to Heeley's inexhaustible creativity. Among the eye-popping toys featured in the workshop are a huge astrologer with a pointed hat and a robe covered in shooting stars and moons; a strongman with a handlebar mustache and barbells; Puss n Boots; an acrobat hanging from a trapeze holding the man in the moon; and a small ballerina dancing on the back of a goat. In the first act, the vibrant reds, golds, and oranges of the costumes worn by the peasants in the village conjure up a wonderfully picturesque vision of nineteenth century Bavaria.

Here is an email: Two agreements have been negotiated with Siemens as part of the plant turnover for Provisional Completion Phase III on oil: 1) the EOT Claim Agreement between Siemens and SCC and 2) modifications to the TAA between Siemens and EPE. The changes which the lenders should review are as follows: EOT Claim Agreement 14 Day Availability Test with respect to Provisional Completion Phase III on oil, on a look-back basis over 6 months, required as a specific performance requirement After PC on oil, Siemens can demobilize Compensation for commissioning on oil $5,720,000; $30,000 per day for owner delay Bonus of $15,000 per day that PC achieved before 17 Feb Phase III Substantial Completion on gas 60 days prior written notice on gas availability If sound level guarantees demonstrated on oil, only need to demonstrate far field sound on gas Owner must operate and maintain per O&M manuals and industry practices on oil; if not, owner must correct items materially affecting Contractor's commissioning obligations Performance guarantees remain in tact per EPC Long stop date on Phase III Substantial Completion on gas of 31 Dec 01 Substantial Completion on gas - punchlist limited to deficiencies from Work performed to achieve Substantial Completion on gas Risk of Loss remains with owner during commisioning on gas Siemens agrees to enter into negotiations to provide operational assistance Degradation - agree to use curves with credit to owner for degradation during commissioning Compensation for commissioning on natural gas $1,220,000 lump sum; $20,000 per day for owner delay Warranty - 6 months after Provisional Completion on oil Option to buy extended warranty for up to 6 months at $175,000; must elect 60 days prior to expiration of Primary Warranty Period Performance LD's on gas per the EPC contract with first $4,000,000 forgiven by owner Delay LD's on gas do not start until 60 days after performance test on gas Payments to be paid (including EOTof $5,720,000): 15 Feb $5,446,141; 28 Feb $14,353,401 with offset of $4,000,000 for Phase I LD payment due from Siemens to SCC Late payment interest rate of 14% TAA Agreement Effective date Provisional Completion Phase III on oil No 12 month look back 12 month Initial Guarantee Period, with the clock suspended for gas commissioning unless owner delay. Additional Insurance In order to provide the lenders an adequate warranty period on gas (if there are additional delays on the P/L) our Insurance group has indicated that we will have no problem obtaining 12 months renewable business interruption insurance when we go operational on gas. This should solve the issue over the revised warranty with Siemens because it covers defects, design, and workmanship on the turbines and includes lost profits, etc. Incidentally, for insurance purposes the turbines are designated DE3 which is not a new technology designation. The duration of BI coverage is 18 months per event with US$150,000 deductible. Typically we will always have this coverage in place but if their is a supplier warranty then the party providing the warranty pays ahead of the insurer. In the case where the supplier does not pay or the warranty has ended then the insurer is the primary. We will need to execute these agreements immediately. Please advise with your thoughts as soon as possible..
