Balanchine’s classic tale of an eccentric toy maker and the lifelike doll he creates.
Let your imagination run wild with this lighthearted love story, where fantasy comes to life and the path to happily ever after takes a few unexpected twists and turns. Featuring ballet’s favorite heroine determined to save the young man to whom she is betrothed, Coppélia will delight audiences of all ages with its foolish fantasy and cleverly crafted humor.
Recommended for ages 5 and up. Coppélia is performed in three acts with a running time of 2 hours 23 minutes.
