Alban Berg's black, satirical opera is one of the masterpieces of the 20th Century. It charts the rise and fall of a femme fatale "created to make trouble", from life as a society hostess to prostitution and eventual bloody death at the hands of Jack the Ripper. Berg's score is intensely beautiful, and the rich characterisation brilliantly executed.
With music by Delibes, Frantz the photographer is trapped by the terrible Dr. Coppelius who intends to use him in his experiments to bring to life the clockwork doll Coppélia.
