Coppélia

Synopsis

Marin's reworking of this much-loved classic is a hugely entertaining and constantly surprising piece of dance theatre. The modern idiom of her imaginative choreography teams perfectly with the infectious melodies of Leo Delibes' lively score, played by the Lyon National Opera Orchestra conducted by Kent Nagano. Marin's Coppelia has lost none of the charm of the original, but has taken on a wry humour, which adds to ist appeal for today's audiences. This programme was recorded with the Lyon National Opera Ballet on location in the suburbs of Lyon and in studio. An introduction by the choreographer is available.
