Toy Story meets ballet. This maddening and lighthearted ballet is the delightful tale of the mad inventor, Doctor Coppelius, and the life-like doll he creates. The doll becomes the source of trouble for a village couple, Swanhilda and Frantz, when Frantz mistakes the doll for a real girl! The New York Times describes Coppélia as “a story-ballet done to perfection.”

Imagine stepping into a world where the familiar thrills of Halloween meet the enchanting art of dance.
