Coppélia, considered one of the greatest comic ballets of the 19th Century, has remained one of the best-loved classical works in the Ballet repertory.
Dr. Coppélius is a doctor who has made a life-size dancing doll. It is so lifelike that Franz, a village youth, becomes infatuated with it and sets aside his heart's true desire, Swanhilda. She shows him his folly by dressing as the doll, pretending to make it come to life and ultimately saving him from an untimely end at the hands of the inventor.
Our first production, 'Coppélia' , will be performed on Sunday 21st June 2026
