Dvd Delibes Coppélia

This delightful ballet tells the story of Dr Coppelius, an eccentric toymaker, who attenmps to bring life to his beautiful doll Coppélia. He is foiled by the mischievious Swanilda, who masquerades as Coppélia and saves her love, Franz, from the Doctor's magic. recorded live at Sydney Opera House, this acclaimed production by Dame Peggy van Praagh, the founding Artistic Director of the Austrlian Ballet, is a triumph. Brilliantly directed by George Ogilvie, Coppélia captures the imagination with its dramatic edge and visual charm.
