Make a day of it: Largs before our Coppélia show

Coming to see Coppélia at Barrfields on 21 November? Make an afternoon of it before the curtain goes up.

Our cast have been rehearsing this production for close to a year now, and Largs is the last stop on the tour after Greenock and Dunoon. It's worth getting into town early.

Grab a bite along the seafront, take a stroll while the light's still good, then head into Barrfields for the show. It's one of those Largs evenings that just works, good food, sea air, then ballet.

Barrfields has been part of our story since Cinderella back in 2016, and it always brings a lovely local crowd. This year's Coppélia is one of our biggest productions yet, four performances across three venues.

What's your favourite spot in Largs for dinner before a show?

Final weeks before Coppelia takes to the stage

The cast have been rehearsing for nearly a year, and it's all coming together now.

These last few weeks are where the real magic happens. Steps that felt separate for months suddenly click into full scenes. Costumes go on for the first time alongside the choreography, and the dancers start adjusting to moving in them, not just learning around them.

There's also the practical side most people never see: working out entrances, exits and spacing for three completely different venues. What works at the Beacon Arts Centre needs tweaking for the Queens Hall stage, and again for Barrfields.

Coppelia will be performed at:

Beacon Arts Centre, Greenock — 6 and 7 November
Queens Hall, Dunoon — 14 November
Barrfields, Largs — 21 November

What changes when Coppélia leaves the studio

Rehearsal room and stage are two different worlds, and our Coppélia cast are about to find that out for real.

For nearly a year now they've been running the choreography in a studio with mirrors, marked-out floor space and no audience. That's where the technical work happens. But stepping onto a real stage changes everything: the lighting, the wings, the sightlines, even how far you have to project a jump so the back row feels it.

This year's production runs across three venues, and each one brings its own challenge. The Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock (6 and 7 November) has a different stage depth to the Queens Hall in Dunoon (14 November), and Barrfields in Largs (21 November) rounds it off with its own scale again. Our dancers have to adjust to all three.

It's part of what makes this such a valuable experience for the cast, especially the younger performers. Ever wondered how much a show can shift once it moves from rehearsal room to real stage lights?

Tickets and details for all three nights are up now.

Coppélia is back this November, three nights, three towns

Nearly a year of rehearsals comes to a head this November as our dancers bring Coppélia to the stage across three venues.

We first staged Coppélia back in 2018, with two shows at the Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock and one at Barrfields in Largs. This time we're adding Queens Hall Dunoon to the run, so more of Scotland gets to see the cast's hard work pay off.

Here's where to catch it:

Beacon Arts Centre, Greenock: 6 and 7 November
Queens Hall, Dunoon: 14 November
Barrfields, Largs: 21 November

Opening night always has its own energy. The nerves, the full house, the months of rehearsal finally landing on stage. Which night suits you best?

Coppélia 2026: nearly a year of work, three venues

Almost twelve months of rehearsals are coming down to three weekends this November.

Our Coppélia cast has been in the studio since last winter, fitting rehearsals around school, work and everything else life throws at them. 21 dancers from our 2018 production have stayed with the company to bring this brand new updated version to the stage, alongside new faces stepping into roles like Swanhilda, Franz and Doctor Coppelius.

Three venues, three different audiences, three chances to see it live:

Beacon Arts Centre, Greenock – 6 and 7 November
Queens Hall, Dunoon – 14 November
Barrfields, Largs – 21 November

From rehearsal room to stage: Coppelia's final countdown

Nearly a year of rehearsals is about to pay off. Our cast has been working on Coppelia since last autumn, and the show is finally close enough to touch.

There's a particular kind of nervous energy in the studio right now. Steps that felt shaky months ago are starting to click into place. Everyone can feel it building towards November.

This year we're taking Coppelia to three venues, so there's a good chance it's coming near you:

Beacon Arts Centre, Greenock: 6 and 7 November
Queens Hall, Dunoon: 14 November
Barrfields Theatre, Largs: 21 November

Getting a full-scale production across three different stages takes real stamina from the whole cast, but it also means more of our community gets to see the results up close.

Which night are you hoping to make it along to? 🩰

A year of hard work, three stages, one Coppélia

Nearly a year of Sunday rehearsals is finally paying off. Our cast has been building towards Coppélia since last autumn, and this November it all comes together across three venues.

Principal Ballerina Bethany, who performed worldwide with Scottish Ballet before retiring in 2024, has been fully involved from auditions right through to shaping the final cast. Having someone with that stage experience in the studio has pushed the dancers' solos and partner work to a different level.

The performances themselves take the show on the road:

Beacon Arts Centre, Greenock: 6th and 7th November
Queens Hall, Dunoon: 14th November
Barrfields, Largs: 21st November

Coppélia has been part of Alba's story since 2018, but this cast has put their own stamp on it. Which venue will you be catching them at?

Coppélia is back this November, and it's a treat

Rehearsals have been going for nearly a year, and our Coppélia cast are in the final stretch now. That's the kind of dedication that goes into every Alba Ballet show, and it really shows on stage.

This year we're taking Coppélia to three venues, so wherever you are in the area, there's a date for you.

Beacon Arts Centre, Greenock: 6th and 7th November
Queens Hall, Dunoon: 14th November
Barrfields, Largs: 21st November

Coppélia is a great one for a family night out this autumn. It's got comedy, a bit of mischief, and some genuinely lovely dancing from a cast who've put the hours in since last winter.
