The production is by Peter Wright and quite the best Coppelia I've seen. Eye candy. Beautiful unapologetically classical ballet. If you're anywhere near Norfolk, I highly recommend it!

Dr. Coppélius: Rory Mackay
Sunday 21st (matinee)

I'm not sure if this is Maureya Lebowitz' debut in role with BRB but the other dancers are already established in the roles.  Terrific casts.  I think it's one of Carole-Ann Millar's best roles.
