Roland Petit's Coppelia, Munich 2019

[FionaM]

Really enjoyed the Roland Petit COPPÉLIA in Munich last night.  It is a treat .... as it has so much dancing for the lead couple.  Only 1.5 hours long plus an interval and you will not feel short-changed.  Joyous. 
 

Javier Amo was a delightful Dr Coppélius - portraying both brilliantly comedic moments and a sad older man just wanting someone to love him.  
 

Maria Baranova, new principal at BSB previously principal at Finnish National Ballet, was delightful with secure technique.  https://instagram.com/mariaelisabaranova?igshid=vpka95e5yo69

 

Stand-out performance of the night was Dmitrii Vyskubenko.  Only 21 and already a first soloist with BSB.  Lovely comedic talent and beautiful lines, jumps and spins.  One to watch.  He’s already debuted as Jack in Wheeldon’s Alice, Lensky in Onegin amongst others.  You can sense his trajectory 😉 https://instagram.com/ballet_force_97?igshid=1d5yq195mnqpj
