Review of Coppelia

Coppelia (2021)
6/10
Pleasing to the eye, detestable to the ears.
7 January 2024
There's nothing wrong with the staging, and the video overlay process is a great success. Not being a dance specialist, I can't comment on the quality of the choreography or the quality of the performance. In any case, the dancers seem to be giving it their all. It's all very pleasing to the eye. The big problem with this production is the musical adaptation. Why have the subtle and dynamic melodies of Léo Delibes been replaced by flat, expressionless music? And why break the unity of the ballet by jumping from one musical style to another? It's like a potpourri of styles. A pity, it could have been a success.
