 In Some Ways, The Best Coppelia On DVD!Apr 14, 2006
By J. M WILINSKY
Fernando Bujones was one of the finest dancers of the late 20th century and to see him perform in this Coppelia is truly breathtaking! Swanilda is played by Ana Maria Castanon and she also dances fantastically. Her pirouettes and balances are awesome! Both dancers are given many solos and PDD's. The entire cast is fantastic. The group dances are danced with great spirit on a somewhat cramped stage. The camera work, unlike many recorded performances, is perfect. At times the viewer gets the feeling of standing right next to the dancer. There are some drawbacks to this dvd. It was recorded in 1980, so there is some tape hiss and the image quality is not perfect, but acceptable. This video has been around for quite a while on vhs but this transfer to dvd is most welcome and coincides with Bujones's untimely, recent death. The ballet communinty, as well as his friends and family miss him dearly. What a great remembrance this dvd is!

 A horror!Jan 03, 2007
By Robert Levonian
I own several Coppélias on video. Up to now I though the version by Angelin Preliocaj with the Lyon Opera Ballet was the worst, but this one tops them all. I can't understand how could anybody consider this a good staging of this delightful score. Although Mr Bujones tries his best, the rest of the company can't even give a passable performance.
If you're interested in seeing Mr Bujones dance, try a documentary, with coreographies by Balanchine & Béjart.

CoppeliaJan 05, 2007
By Laurie P. Byrd
If you want to see the young Fernando Bujones at his best this is a good record. However, the company is definitely not at the standard of most professional companies. Fernando's variations are full of the tricks of male dancing and that in itself is worth watching as far as the rest of the produciton its just ok.

 A DisappointmentJun 03, 2006
By Savina K. Lee
I was really disappointed with this production. Bujones was quite good, but I felt that the rest of the cast were second rate. However, my biggest irritation was the audience. They were intrusive and very loud, wild applause as soon as one of the principals appeared which continued during the dancing, usually culminating in whistles and much stomping of feet completely drowning out the music. Why couldn't the DVD production people at least reduce the noise, or wait until the dancing had finished? I doubt that I will watch this DVD again. The two stars are only for Bujones' dancing.
