COPPÈLIA comes to the Mayflower Theatre as part of a UK tour from Wednesday until Saturday after a critically-acclaimed run at the London Coliseum in July.
Coppélia is the comic tale of an eccentric toymaker and his mechanical doll.
Dr Coppélius, the toymaker, creates a lifelike Coppélia doll and wishes to bring her to life. English National Ballet’s production is choreographed by Ronald Hynd. Léo Delibes’ score is played by English National Ballet’s full orchestra.
Following their debut performance in the lead roles of Franz and Swanilda, Yonah Acosta, who was recently promoted to principal, performs alongside Shiori Kase, who was recently promoted to first soloist, on tour.
Other lead roles in Coppélia include Junor Souza, who was recently promoted to first soloist, and Lauretta Summerscales, Tamara Rojo, Alejandro Virelles, Erina Takahashi, Fernando Bufalá, Fernanda Oliveira and Zdenek Konvalina.
