Coppelia DVD (The Royal Ballet) 2019

Notify me when this product is available:

A classic returns to the Royal Ballet repertory with Ninette de Valois' charming and funny Coppélia - a story of love, mischief and mechanical dolls. The intricate choreography is set to Delibes' delightful score and shows off the technical precision and comedic timing of the whole Company. With Marianela Nuñez and Vadim Muntagirov in the lead roles and the incomparable Gary Avis as the put-upon Doctor Coppélius, this is a treat for all lovers of traditional ballet.

"This revival of Ninette de Valois’s 1954 production... has an energy all of its own." The Independent

"Crisp dance and sharp comedy make their mark." The Evening Standard

Of Núñez: "Every shrug, every pout, every stamp of the foot is a masterclass in verismo and she renders the most complex mime passages instantly intelligible." The Financial Times

"Muntagirov showed unsuspected comic flair as Franz... His double-take on first spotting Coppélia earned a big laugh while his airborne Act Three variations won gasps and giggles of delight." The Financial Times
