A classic returns to the Royal Ballet repertory with Ninette de Valois’ charming and funny Coppélia– a story of love, mischief and mechanical dolls. Marianela Nuñez, Swanilda, and Gary Avis, Dr Coppélius, perform the scene where Swanilda pretends to be Coppélia.
Coppélia is available to watch now – along with over 60 other extraordinary productions – on Royal Opera House Stream. Watch the whole performance now at https://www.roh.org.uk/tickets-and-ev...
The intricate choreography is set to Delibes’ delightful score and shows off the technical precision and comedic timing of the whole Company. Osbert Lancaster’s designs bring a colourful storybook world to life in this Christmas treat for the whole family.
