The imagination of the young can never resist the wonder of words told in the magic of dance!
Ballet Philippines Dance School presents an excerpt from its first virtual recital in "Coppelia at Home." Featuring the students of BPDS and Ballet Philippines core dancers as guest artists, it tells the story of a sleepy village awakened by the magnificent, life-like doll, Coppelia. Curiosity and mischief create mayhem, but in the end, love and forgiveness kept Franz and Swanilda—and the whole town—happy together.
This clip is the opening number introducing the story and our lead characters, Franz (Joseph Phillips), Swanilda (Denise Parungao-Phillips), Dr. Coppelius (Emmanuelle Guillermo), and Coppelia (Joanne Sartorio) to the iconic music of Leo Delibes.
