Coppélia, a light-hearted comedic ballet, is the perfect introduction to the beauty of classical ballet for children and adults alike. The story follows the playful romance between Swanilda and Franz. Their relationship with the eccentric toy maker Dr. Coppélius and his unusually lifelike doll Coppélia make for a fun and entertaining ballet. This charming story ballet features dazzling sets and costumes with virtuoso performances on stage. Alabama Ballet’s enchanting production of this joyous and witty ballet is an ever-popular celebration of love, with a sparkling score and breathtaking choreography. Coppélia joins a season of performances that are perfect for the entire family.
