The Bolshoi Ballet's production was sensational! I had never seen a performance by them, and had always wanted to do so. The format of the showing was great, as well! I found the 2 intermissions to be very accomodating to enjoying the 3 Acts of the ballet itself. The intermissions gave me time to express to my companion my interpretations of the Bolshoi's execution of Coppelia. I also enjoyed the interpreter's explanation of the history behind Coppelia's original showing in the 19th century by Maurius Petipus. I will definitely attend more of these cinematic filmings.
