"The decisive advance in Delibes' career came with the ballet Coppélia, ou La fille aux yeux d'émail, played at the Opéra on 2 May 1870. Based on E.T.A. Hoffmann, it has remained one of the best loved of all classical ballets and shows Delibes' musical gifts at their most appealing." Hugh Macdonald in Grove Music Onlilne. (Inventory #: 27855)
