Delibes: Coppelia (Blu-ray)

• To this day, Coppélia is one of the most often performed ballets of all time.
• Coppélia marks a milestone in Léo Delibes' career, he succeeded in combining music and dance at an entirely new level, and as a result he is often called the "father of modern ballet music".
• The popular ballet performance is interpreting one of the greatest and most tragic classics.
• Choreographer Eduardo Lao and the Víctor Ullate Ballet have transferred the classic work into the modern era : Coppélia is set in a cybernetic laboratory specialized in artificial intelligence, where Doctor Coppelius is attempting to create a female android that moves and acts like human.
• Against a backdrop of futuristic sets the Víctor Ullate Ballet clothes this classic in a new, bouncy and colourful fairytale wardrobe.
• Choreographer Eduardo Lao received the "Public Award" of the Performing Arts in 2012.
