Coppélia 2026: three venues, one big autumn for Alba

Rehearsals have been underway for nearly a year now, and Coppélia is finally close to taking the stage this November.

We're bringing the show to three venues across the west of Scotland, so wherever you are, there's a performance near you.

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

The Beacon has been part of our story since our very first production back in 2014, so it always feels a bit like coming home when we perform there.

Which date suits you best, Greenock, Dunoon or Largs?

Coppélia 2026: rehearsals are hitting full swing

Nearly a year of hard work is coming together, and our dancers are now deep into the final stretch of rehearsals for Coppélia.

This year's production is a bit different: instead of one venue, we're taking the show on the road to three. You'll be able to catch it at the Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock on 6 and 7 November, Queens Hall in Dunoon on 14 November, or Barrfields in Largs on 21 November.

Our Patron, Bethany, has been fully involved since auditions, working closely with the cast on solos, pas de deux, and everything in between. Having performed worldwide as Principal Ballerina with Scottish Ballet, she's bringing real touring experience into the studio with our dancers.

Which venue is closest to you: Greenock, Dunoon, or Largs?

Coppélia comes to Queens Hall Dunoon this November

Rehearsals for Coppélia are in their final stretch, and the cast have been working on this one for nearly a year.

Dunoon audiences will get their chance on 14 November at Queens Hall, right in the middle of our three-venue run this autumn.

We opened at Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock on 6 and 7 November, then head to Barrfields in Largs on 21 November, with Dunoon sitting as the centrepiece date.

Queens Hall has a special place in this story. Our last visit there, back in February 2025, was a postponed show that finally went ahead to a packed house after snow forced us to delay from the previous November.

We're hoping for clearer skies this time. Will you be joining us in Dunoon on the 14th? 🩰

Nearly a Year in the Making: Coppélia 2026 Is Almost Here 🩰

Thousands of hours. One studio. And a cast that has given nearly a year of their lives to bringing Coppélia to the stage this November.

That kind of commitment doesn't happen overnight, and right now, our dancers are in the final stages of rehearsals, tightening every pirouette, every lift, and every storytelling moment before the curtain goes up. Alba Ballet has staged Coppélia before (back in 2018 across Beacon Arts Centre and Barrfields), but this production is a whole new chapter. This November, the show travels across three venues: Beacon Arts Centre, Greenock on 6 and 7 November, Queens Hall, Dunoon on 14 November, and Barrfields, Largs on 21 November. Have you ever wondered what almost 12 months of rehearsals actually looks, feels, and sounds like behind the scenes? 🎭

There is something genuinely special about watching a production take shape from the very first run-through to a performance-ready cast who know every note and every cue. Whether you have a dancer in the company or you simply love live ballet, these shows are going to be worth every minute of that rehearsal journey. Which venue are you planning to catch the show at?

Going to Your First Ballet? Here's What to Expect 🩰

First time at a ballet performance and not sure what to expect? You're not alone, and honestly, it's simpler (and more magical) than most people think. With our production of Coppelia coming up this November, we thought now was the perfect time to answer the questions we get asked most.

Do I need to dress up? Smart casual is absolutely fine. Can I bring kids? Yes, and Coppelia is a wonderful story they'll love. What if I've never seen a ballet before? No experience needed at all. Our cast has spent nearly a year preparing this production, so from the moment the curtain goes up, the story carries you with it. We're performing at three brilliant venues: Beacon Arts Centre, Greenock on 6 and 7 November, Queens Hall, Dunoon on 14 November, and Barrfields, Largs on 21 November, so there's a date and location to suit everyone across the west of Scotland.

Have you ever been to a live ballet before, or would this be your first time? And which venue would you be looking to attend? Let us know below, we'd love to see you there! 🎭

Coppélia 2026: Alba Ballet's Biggest Show Yet 🩰

After nearly a year of hard work in the studio, our cast are in the final stages of rehearsals for Coppélia 2026 and the excitement is absolutely building. This production is shaping up to be the biggest in Alba Ballet's history, and we genuinely mean that. Off the back of Cinderella 2024 (four performances across three venues, which was massive for us), we set out to go even further with Coppélia, and that is exactly what we have done.

This November, we are bringing Coppélia to three incredible venues across Scotland. You can catch the show at the Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock on 6 and 7 November, the Queens Hall in Dunoon on 14 November, and Barrfields in Largs on 21 November. Our Patron, Bethany Kingsley Garner (ex-Principal of Scottish Ballet and the People's Ballerina), has been involved throughout rehearsals, helping to shape the cast and bring a level of professional experience that makes this production something really special. Which venue are you planning to attend? And if you have watched our dancers grow over the years, what has been your favourite Alba Ballet memory so far? 🎭

Coppelia Is Coming to Scotland This November 🩰

After nearly a year of rehearsals, our cast is putting the finishing touches on what we're aiming to make our biggest production yet. Coppelia arrives in November 2026, and if you've never seen a live classical ballet performed by a local Scottish company, this is the one to catch. We're performing across three venues, so there's a good chance one of them is close to you: Beacon Arts Centre, Greenock on 6 & 7 November, Queens Hall, Dunoon on 14 November, and Barrfields, Largs on 21 November.

What makes this special is the sheer amount of work that goes into a production like this. The dancers have been training and rehearsing for close to a year to bring Coppelia to life on stage, and that dedication shows every single time the curtain goes up. Our 2024 production of Cinderella sold out to packed audiences across four performances, so we'd love to see even more faces in the crowd this time round. 🎭 Which venue are you planning to visit? And have you ever brought the family along to a live ballet before? Let us know in the comments!

Coppélia Is Almost Here. Three Venues. One Incredible Cast. 🩰

After nearly a year of rehearsals, the Alba Ballet cast are in the final stages of preparing for their biggest challenge yet. This November, they'll be taking Coppélia to three venues right across Scotland, and the buzz backstage is absolutely electric. From full costumes and stage sets to performing in front of a live audience, these young dancers are about to experience exactly what life as a professional dancer really feels like.

Here's where you can catch the magic: Beacon Arts Centre, Greenock on 6 and 7 November, Queens Hall, Dunoon on 14 November, and Barrfields, Largs on 21 November. Three venues, three unforgettable nights, and one cast that has put everything into making this their best production yet. Alba Ballet has been building towards this moment since rehearsals started, and if Cinderella 2024 (their biggest show to date) is anything to go by, Coppélia is going to be something really special. Which venue are you planning to come to? 🎭 Drop a comment below and let us know!

From First Rehearsal to Final Bow: Inside a Ballet Production

Most people see the finished show. What they don't see is the nearly a year of hard work that happens before a single curtain rises. For our cast working on Coppelia 2026, that journey is very nearly complete 🩰

Putting together a full-scale classical ballet production is no small thing. It starts with casting, then comes the months of learning choreography, building costumes, perfecting technique, and pulling every single element together so it all makes sense on stage. Alba Ballet has been doing exactly this since our very first production of The Nutcracker back in 2014, and with every show since (Cinderella, Coppelia 2018, and beyond) the process has grown and the ambition with it. This November, our Coppelia cast will perform across three venues, starting at the Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock on 6 and 7 November, then Queens Hall Dunoon on 14 November, and finishing at Barrfields in Largs on 21 November. Have you ever watched a ballet and wondered what goes into making it happen behind the scenes?

Whether you're a dance parent, a ballet fan, or simply curious about live performance, there's something genuinely special about watching students step out under the lights after months of dedication. What's your favourite thing about watching a live show? 🎭
