The costumes look Polish to me. Years ago, I bought my Polish grandmother a doll in traditional Polish garb, and she was dressed just like these dancers. And the famous Polish dance troop that performs world-wide wears similar costumes.

How to obtain this music, download an album called Romantic Classics, it's on that, I downloaded it fron isohunt. I couldn't get if from MP3 Realm as it's copyrighted, Good luck
As a composer, myself, It's hard to belive that Delibes intended this exquisite music to be taken at breakneck speed. The far too brisk tempo diminishes the weight of the music. Here, its played as if it were a light and frothy confection. It wants to be heavier and more important. Ditto the dancers. They flit about. A bit slower would yield the real dignity inherent in the music. If I were the composer I'd kick the conductor in the shins for having so missed the spirit of the music.
@BillSalem Actually it's clear that Delibes "borrowed" the music from Moniuszko's opera, The Haunted Manor. It was written as a song and dance. Look in youtube for Moniuszko + mazur for the original.
Mazurka is a mixture of three dances, each with a different tempo: oberek, mazur and kujawiak. This music is for the mazur, while Coppelia attempts to make it a full mazurka.
@BillSalem Also, Moniuszko intended it to be danced by the nobles, which is a more stately version of mazur, while in Coppelia there's the folk version of the dance, which is more acrobatic.
Gracias por la eleccion, un ballet verdaderamente precioso. Exelente coreografia, musica sublime, cuerpo de baile extraordinario...para que mas epitetos ?
he he , the compositor Leo Delibes is french and the costumes have nothing common with Poland - there is too much red - maybe from other eastern countries (ukrainian or...). At best they have been tainted in Poland :)
Well, you're correct that Delibes (the COMPOSER) was French... duh. The mazurka is a folk dance that originated in Poland. These costumes were, of course, designed for a short scene in a staged ballet, so perhaps liberties were taken, but the red boots, the bodices, the flowered headdresses, and the "general" costume style look very much like the folk costumes that my Polish friends wear at festivals in Chicago, and look nothing like Ukrainian. Maybe there are more Poles in France? he he...
Simplemente gracias. En la prepa, ya hace unos años, bailé esta pieza, fue un momento único y especial. Pasaron ya casi 10 años desde que eso sucedió y ahora me hace feliz escuchar de nuevo, y lo mejor es que lo puedo ver. Finalmente eramos estudiantes, y nunca nos mostraron la puesta en escena de un ballet profesional.
Nice clothes, but definitely not Polish. but there are some items, caps of highland and boots of nobility

@14121959 this music is Mazurka by Moniuszko - Polish composer (not Delibes who just took this mazurka from Moniuszko)

Mazur means common man, farmer in Polish. Mazurkas is their dance.
