Tickets Available for Coppélia Ballet

Enjoy performances of Coppélia, the greatest comedic ballet of the romantic era, presented by Hot Springs Children’s Dance Theatre.

The Hot Springs Children’s Dance Theatre Company will be proud to present Coppélia, the greatest comedic ballet of the romantic era. Based on a story by ETA Hoffman the ballet evolved from traveling shows in the 18th and 19th c. It featured a courting couple, a mysterious doll maker, and a beautiful life-size mechanical doll accompanied by other life-size automatons. Mystery and magic all come together in one wonderfully comical love story, danced by ballet professionals and students, that will appeal to all the family.

The main characters in Coppélia are Swanhilda and Franz who are engaged to be married. They spend their days dancing and teasing each other in their village courtyard. Dr. Coppelius is a strange and mysterious town toymaker who creates Coppélia, a beautiful life-size doll. He places her on his balcony facing the town square as if she is reading a book. Because she looks so real, all the people in the village begin to believe she is. Franz develops conflicting thoughts about who he likes more; his fiancé, Swanhilda, or Coppelia. Swanhilda, realizing that Franz has second thoughts about their engagement, decides to sneak into Dr. Coppelius’ house and get to the bottom of the mystery. She poses as Coppélia, and this is where all the fun begins.
