Coppélia concerns a mysterious inventor, Doctor Coppélius, who has made a life-size dancing doll that is so lifelike that Franz, a village youth, is infatuated with it. He sets aside his true heart's desire, Swanhilda, who shows him his folly by dressing as the doll and pretending to come to life.
Choreographed by Salwa Rizkalla.
Megan Fairchild and Andrew Veyette of New York City Ballet guest star.
