Delibes: Coppélia (The Royal Ballet)

Ninette de Valois' charming and funny Coppélia is a classic of the Royal Ballet repertory - a story of love, mischief and mechanical dolls, starring Marianela Nuñez and Vadim Muntagirov. 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 entertaining and joyful ballet.
