As part of their 2010 season, The Australian Ballet presented a series of programmes that honoured key milestones throughout their history. Peggy van Praagh and George Ogilvie's production of Coppélia was one such work. Premiering in Paris in 1870, Coppélia was a turning point between the ethereal age of Romantic ballet and the scale and spectacle of the high classical style that would dominate the rest of the century. 3 Deep's challenge was to create a campaign that paid homage to the history, scale and spectacle of the work.
In 1961, Peggy van Praagh staged a landmark three-act version for the Borovansky Ballet’s farewell performance, with Borovansky himself taking the role of Dr Coppelius. One year later, it entered the inaugural repertoire of The Australian Ballet.
