Between 20 and 23 October, Coppélia ballet was performed by the Cairo Opera Ballet Company, with two matinee and six soiree performances.

PUBLISHED MATERIAL: The basic plot of Coppélia is enclosed in the ballet’s first two acts and tells a story of a human-sized doll that catches eye of Franz, inciting the jealousy of his fiancée Swanhilda and leading to confrontations with the dolls’ eccentric inventor, Dr Coppelius. Though the third act is linked to the main plot, it is rather a divertissement that gives room for the virtuosity of the dancers.

PUBLISHED MATERIAL: Staged for the very first time in the history of the Cairo Opera Ballet Company, Coppélia has definitely engraved itself as one of the most important and masterfully executed works in the troupe’s recent history.
