How can anyone watch this and NOT smile?! Beautiful, fun and happy.

Une perfection !
Rien de gymnique ici ainsi que l’on peut en faire reproche à certains ballets occidentaux. Que de l’artistique, de la subtilité et de la finesse. On en oublierait combien cet art est difficile tant la joie est présente et offerte au public.

The speed and cleanness of the footwork dazzles me as I watch this over and over.

I have been at the Bolshoi about 4 weeks ago, at the last performance of Coppelia (at least in this season). Same scenery and choreography like in this video. Simply wonderful! And by far not as expensive as I had expected, 70€ for very good seats at the very best ballet theatre in the world is a fair price.

Not only graceful dance but orchestra also at the pinnacle of their performance. Bravo to both.

I saw the Coppelia valley for the first time. Dance, costumes, stage production, and music are in harmony with the completion. Amazing! ️‼ ️‼ ️

Years ago I danced myself in Coppelia, but in another choreography . Specially the music is so delightfull and uplifting. Love it.

The Bolshoi Coppelia is a perfect harmony of dance, costumes, music and stage production.

What energy, vibrancy...the colors, the costumes, the dancing—perfection!

I am an Indian . I was here because the history of Poland ( It's rebellion against Russian language ) is in my syllabus and how art and culture became part of the movement . But I have to say this dance form is the most beautiful one I 've ever seen . Go Poland !!!

This piece both musically and choregraphically is addictive. Of the versions available on You Tube this appears to be the newest of it's class and arguably the best. They all have an interesting interpretation of this delightful dance.

Estou aqui após ler Ana Kariênina, o que me trouxe foi a curiosidade, mais fui surprendida, pois superou todas as minhas expectativas. Isso é mais do que arte, é sublime!

Wspaniale zatańczony polski taniec narodowy zwany Mazurem. Rosyjski balet jest najlepszy na Świecie. Dziękuję z Polski ❤❤❤

Oh! Wow! Wonderful, wonderful. There are no words to fully express what the Bolshoi project onto the stage. Whether it be Coppelia, Swan Lake, or, any of many ballets, they are, without doubt the best.

Had to YouTube this while reading Anna karenina

The first ballet I watched at the National theatre.. Didn't even know what ballet it was as I was too young then.. But I went home with this mazurka music playing in my head. Only realised it was Coppelia many years later. :D

[MrGustaphe]

I've had this piece stuck in my ears for weeks. Finally found what it was.

[chrisbennett]

I know little of the art of dance and even less of ballet - but i DO know quality when i see it and this is pure magic.

One can talk about costumes, talk whether it is mazurka or mazur one thing is clear: in comparison with the Bolshoi dance all other performances look like amature ones. So, watch and enjoy
