Coppelia

[Peter Pedant]

The Brum production of Coppelia ended happily

Does my memory fail me ? I thought it ended unhappily with the broken hearted Coppelius carting off the broken doll ?

Are Brummies soft hearted or do I have Alzheimer's ?

Many thanks Prophet

It looks as though it is rewritten so that Coppelious gets the girl and the pot og Gold
Brum is an engineerinng city so perhaps it is cultural

thanks again

Last time I saw BRB's Coppelia it had the standard ending, with Coppelius left with the broken doll. Over the years I've seen the Royal Ballet/Sadlers Wells/ Birmingham Royal Ballet production about a dozen times and it's always had the same ending. Maybe they've changed it recently - it's a year or three since I've seen it.
