December 22 to 24, Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino
The sentimental comic ballet with choreography by Evgheni Polyakov and music by Léo Delibes about the myseterious and faintly diabolical inventor, Doctor Coppélius and his creation, a life-size dancing doll. The doll is so lifelike that the village swain falls in love with it – and mayhem ensues! Musical accompaniment by the Orchestra of Maggio Musicale Fiorentino conducted by Giuseppe Mega, and dancers from MaggioDanza. For more information call 055/2779350 or visit
