All contributions are welcome.
Notes on Coppelia.
Coppelia is ballet about a girl who sits still, without smiling in the window of the shop of a toymaker Coppelius. A group of young kids enter the shop, and one of them noticing that Coppelia is a mechanical doll, pretends to be her, and gradually comes to life. The original choreography for Coppelia was by Arthur Saint-Leon with music by Leo Delibes.
Mirai's programme tells the story of the ballet (or part of it). It is not just skating to music, but beautifully choreographed piece. Fulls mark to her choreographer, as well as to Mirai.
