In March 1933, the company performed the first two acts of Coppelia, the ballet created by Arthur Saint-Léon, with Lydia Lopokova as Swanilda for the first two performances. Ninette de Valois then took over the role. The ballet was recreated by Nicholas Sergeyev, the former régisseur of the Marinsky Theatre.
