The comic ballet Coppélia is based on two short stories by ETA Hoffmann and along with the ballet Sylvia and opera Lakmé, one of the most famous works by the French composer Léo Delibes.Influenced himself by Berlioz and Wagner, Delibes was greatly admired by Tchaikovsky and his music clearly inspired the ballets by the Russian master. This recording with the L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the earlier of two made by Richard Bonynge, was the top recommendation when BBC Radio 3 compared different recordings in its programme Building a Library in 2010. It is coupled with the short ballet Le Carillon by fellow French composer Jules Massenet, whose centenary is celebrated this year. | | | (Sorry, download not available in your country) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Live Recording from The Opéra National De Paris, 2001
Charline Giezendanner (Swanilda), Mathieu Ganio (Franz) & Pierre Lacotte (Coppélius) École De Danse And Opéra National De Paris, David Coleman Choreography by ARTHUR SAINT-LÉON Directed for Stage by PIERRE LACOTTE & CLAUDE BESSY The young ballet dancers of the L’Ecole de Danse de l’Opéra de Paris move elegantly and quickly through the rehearsal rooms of the house. The slight tension that spreads among the young girls, the oldest of whom is just 17 years of age, pervades the atmosphere – an atmosphere made, as it were, for the painter Edgar Degas. On the programme this evening is Coppélia, or the girl with the enamel eyes by Léo Delibes. The excitement among the girls is great because today they will be performing in the (reproduced) scenery and costumes which at the premiere on 25 May 1870 had delighted Emperor Napoleon III and the Empress. The first choreography of the work was undertaken by Arthur Saint-Léon (1821-1870), a violin and dance virtuoso famous at that time. He died of a heart attack at the age of 49, only a few months after the premiere. Over the years many arrangements and choreographies have been made of the piece. The version on this DVD is by Pierre Lacotte, the great ballet expert who has received many honours, and Claude Bessy, the long standing director of the ballet school at the Paris opera.
