Dance review: Coppélia, Birmingham Hippodrome, Birmingham
Coppélia, one of the bounciest of 19th-century ballet classics, is a good vehicle for emerging ballerinas. In Birmingham Royal Ballet's revival, 23-year-old soloist Maureya Lebowitz made a delightful heroine, with strong technique and lively presence. Around her, the company responded with a vivid performance, making this a very cheerful matinée.
