Coppélia

Coppélia is a classical ballet that tells the humorous story of a young man named Franz who becomes obsessed with a life-sized doll named Coppélia, created by a toy maker. Believing her to be alive, he neglects his fiancée, Swanilda. When Swanilda discovers the illusion, she disguises herself as Coppélia, leading to a series of playful misunderstandings. The ballet combines lively dance, charming characters, and a lighthearted narrative, exploring themes of love, obsession, and deception through elegant choreography and music. Originally choreographed in the late 19th century, Coppélia remains one of the most popular and enduring works in the ballet repertory.
