Royal Ballet Live Encore Screening: Coppelia

Musical Barry Wordsworth conducts a recording of a live performance from the Royal Opera House in London of Ninette de Valois' ballet of mechanical dolls set to Leo Delibes' fleet-footed score, which is constructed on the foundations of Marius Petipa and Enrico Cecchetti's original choreography. Swanilda is madly in love with Franz but she becomes irritated with her beau when she catches him staring adoringly at the daughter of their neighbour, the eccentric and sinister toymaker Dr Coppelius.
