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 1975. Whereas the "Coppélia" 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 the feel of our time. PETIT's own brilliant performance as Dr. Coppélius was one of his masterpieces, still talked about today. The unique humor and chic French taste featured on this stage, there is a memorable ending that will leave you engrossed, with a message that won't fade with repeat viewing.
As of 24th of April, we regretfully announced that all performances scheduled from 2nd to 8th May were cancelled.
(Please refer to the announcement on 24th April)
However, the National Ballet of Japan will perform this wonderful production without audience and the performance will be live-streamed via YouTube and National Ballet of Japan's Facebook page for FREE!
We will broadcast 4 performances with every different cast.
Join us live on the 2nd, 4th, 5th and 8th at 14:00 JST.

SYNOPSIS
Coppélius is an aging dandy who looks good in a frock coat. He is infatuated with the much younger Swanilda, but Swanilda has eyes only for her lover Franz, and merely toys with Coppelius. In Coppelius's lonely lodgings there is a doll that looks exactly like Swanilda. If only one day something would breathe life into the doll and turn it into a human being...
