It's amazing what goes into making something effortless.

"No performance is a perfect performance but some performances allow for the feeling of perfection. Achieving this moment of ecstasy easily validates all the pain and struggle of the art form by taking us, and possibly our audience, for a moment to a world beyond our own."

Coppelia: Swanilda and her friendsĀ in Act 1. Swanilda has been advised to shake a stalk of wheat, which is supposed to give out a special sound if her boyfriend Franz is true to her. She asks those around her to listen to it, but they hear nothing.

Leanne Benjamin, Carlos Acosta
(2000, The Royal Ballet) An 18 year old Marianela Nunez can also be seen as one of Swanilda’s friends.
