This delightful ballet tells the story of Dr Coppelius, an eccentric toymaker, who attempts to bring life to his beautiful doll Coppélia. He is foiled by the mischevious Swanilda, who masquerades as Coppélia and saves her love, Franz, from the Doctor's magic. Recorded live at the Sydney Opera House, this acclaimed production by Dame Peggy van Praagh, the founding Artistic Director of the Australian Ballet, is a triumph.

A production of 'The Merry Widow', recorded live in June 1993. The story follows Hanna Glawari who has been recently widowed and is seeking a new husband. She is one of the wealthiest women in Pontevedro and if she marries a foreigner Pontevedro will be left bankrupt...so the bureaucrats plot to ensure that Hanna marries a siutable national.
