In this classic ballet by composer Léo Delibes, a toy maker creates a doll so beautiful and lifelike that a young man falls hopelessly in love with it … much to the dismay of his girlfriend. Can true love conquer infatuation? Fanciful staging, whimsical costumes and exquisite choreography -- along with the talents of the Royal Ballet and the Royal Opera House Orchestra -- bring to life this imaginative tale about obsession and longing.
