For the first time in over twenty years, Atlanta Ballet, along with a large cast of students from the Centre for Dance Education, will present Coppélia.
This witty fairytale classic features the work’s original choreography by George Balanchine, set to the music of Léo Delibes. The story of an eccentric toy maker, his female creation and her suitor is a timeless mystery complete with comedy, danger, mistaken identity and a “love conquers all” theme.
