Spring Performance
Coppelia
Can a
mysterious, mechanical doll be a serious rival to a lovely
young peasant girl? You bet, until things get straightened
out in Coppelia, the storybook ballet Festival Ballet and
The Academy of Ballet & Dance Arts performs this June, at Brazoswood, and therein lies half the fun.
The
ballet follows the adventures of the precocious young
Swanilda as she attempts to find out the secret behind the
mysterious Coppelia, a captivating beauty who sits on her
balcony all day, catching the longing gazes of Franz,
Swanilda's fiancé. Little does Swanilda know that Coppelia
is a life-sized doll created by the eccentric Dr. Coppelius.
Like The Nutcracker, the story is based on an E.T.A.
Hoffmann fairy tale.
