Coppélia at New National Theatre Tokyo

The "Coppélia" features the ground-breaking production and choreography of Roland PETIT and was first brought to life by the Ballet National de Marseille in 1976. Whereas the "Coppélias" performed around the world until that time had been stuck in a 19th century style, this production brought the timeless themes of life and love to the fore, giving the characters a feel of our time. PETIT's own brilliant performance as Dr. Coppélius was one of his masterpieces, still talked about today. Coppélia's profound message, and of course PETIT's unique humour and the magic, will leave a lasting impression.
