A masterpiece of comedy ballet, Coppelia centers around a sinister alchemist, Dr. Coppelius, his mechanical, life-sized doll, and a young man who is torn between his love for the doll and his fiancee.

A favorite of audiences the world over since its premiere in 1870, this romantic comedy of mistaken identity is a funny, boisterous ballet set to a radiant and unforgettable score by Leo Delibes.

With plenty of humor accessible to children and adults, this production is pure family entertainment.
