“Coppélia is a comic ballet from 1870 originally choreographed by Arthur Saint-Léon. The ballet is about Dr. Coppelius, a lonely old alchemist, regarded by the villagers as a sorcerer. He creates his "daughter" Coppélia, a mechanical doll who is so lifelike she fools the villagers into believing she is alive. Franz, a villager engaged to marry Swanilda, one of the most beautiful girls in the village, causes her much dismay upon the sight of the "new girl" Coppélia. Not realizing that she is only a mechanical doll, he is determined to discover whether she really loves him or not.“
