Coppélia
“There are few things greater than Coppélia”
Daily Telegraph

Dr Coppélius, the toymaker, has created the lifelike Coppélia doll and wishes for nothing more than to bring her to life. He imagines that his dream has finally come true, but he has merely been caught up in a lovers’ tiff. Love triumphs over all in this comedy of mistaken identity and the finale is a breathtaking celebration of the lovers’ marriage.

English National Ballet boasts some of the world’s great dancers performing the charming, timeless choreography. Leo Delibes’ irresistibly melodic score is played by English National Ballet’s full orchestra.

An enchanting, effervescent family ballet, perfect for audiences of all ages, Coppélia is one of the most popular classics in the Company’s repertoire.
