Morning Classics: Olympia & Coppelia
Monday, 09/14/09 8am on Classical Music with Cheryl Willoughby
Whether you know her as Olympia (in music by Offenbach) or Coppelia (in
the Delibes ballet), she's more or less the same character, from the
writings of ETA Hoffmann. This morning we'll hear music from both
treatments of the story of the life-sized mechanical doll.
