On Monday I reviewed the Dutch National Ballet's performance of Ted Brandsen's Coppelia. On Tuesday I received these lovely photos of the performance from the company's press manager, Richard Heideman. Many thanks to him and the company for making these available to me.

I mentioned this production to our teacher and fellow members of our adult ballet class at Northern Ballet Academy yesterday after suggesting something from Delibes's Coppelia as an alternative to Minkus's La Bayadere.  Our teacher led us to believe that Coppelia may not have been her favourite ballet.  I replied that she might well change her mind if she could see Brandsen's. As it may not be possible for her to arrange a trip to Amsterdam before the end of the year I offer this article to her and also to my classmates in Leeds. It's a thank you to her for all that she has taught me this year and also to my classmates for their excellent company,
