Coppélia is one of the most revered and often imitated stories
of ETA Hoffman. A magical doll, a jealous bride-to-be,
her well-meaning but not too bright fiancé, a highly eccentric and
slightly mad doctor, a pastoral village filled with happy peasants,
erratic and uncontrollable magic, and a beautiful wedding all come
together for a "happily ever-after" finale that only classical
ballet can create. Come join us in this family favorite set
to the beautiful music of Léo Delibes, performed by The
Butler Ballet Orchestra under the direction of Richard
Auldon-Clark, and indulge yourself in Butler Ballet's exuberant
production of Coppélia.
