Filled with merriment, comedic charm, and spectacular dancing, Coppélia is the story of Swanilda and Franz, whose courtship takes a surprising turn when Dr. Coppelius, a mysterious inventor, creates a life-like doll with whom Franz becomes infatuated. Determined to teach her wanderlust lover a lesson, Swanilda dresses up as the doll and pretends to come to life. Ultimately, Swanilda and Franz reunite and a vivacious wedding day celebration ensues.
