European Ballet, one of the most popular and exhilarating touring companies is presenting this colourful, most celebrated and world-favourite ballet Coppelia set to the irresistible score of Delibes in Mullingar Arts Centre on Thursday May 19.
The company of first-class international dancers directed by principal dancer of The Bolshoi Ballet Stanislav Tchassov has well earned its reputation for superb classical ballet performances and high standards of dancing.
Highly respected, award-winning dancers from Russia, France, Italy, Spain, and theUK will perform in this beautiful production.
The ballet interweaves the romance between Swanhilda and Franz with the story of the doll-maker Coppelius, whose greatest desire is to create a doll with a soul. Franz falls in love with Coppelia, whom he thinks is alive. He finally recognises that she is just a doll and returns to Swanhilda, after which the sparkling grand divertissement sees everyone reconciled.
Full of humour and exciting Hungarian dances such as Czardas and Mazurka, the ballet has beautiful scenery and handcrafted costumes, and is a total delight and great entertainment for all ages.
Early booking is recommended.
