MORE than 100 performers from Harlow Ballet Association will perform Coppelia at Harlow Playhouse from Thursday, April 7 to Saturday, April 10.

Set in a European village the story sees a toy maker create a doll so life-like that a young man falls in love with it. The classic tale shows the doll come to life and compete for the man’s affection with his previous girlfriend.

The ballet will be performed with original 19th century choreography with Nadia Jones and Jodie Sangster sharing the female lead while Matthew Morrell is the main man.

Audiences can also look forward to beautiful costumes, specially made scenery and a score from composer Leo Delibes.

There will be two evening performances on the Thursday and Friday with 2pm matinees on Saturday and Sunday.
