Coppélia or the Girl with the Enamel Eyes

Inspired by the work Der Sandmann by E.T.A. Hoffmann, this is a ballet where illusion and fantasy mix with humor. Premiered at Théâtre Impérial de l’Opéra in Paris on 1870, the story centers on the young Swanilda and her fiancé Franz. Swanilda becomes jealous when she realizes that Franz is enchanted by a beautiful girl who often appears at the window of the studio of the mysterious doll maker, Dr. Coppélius, unaware that it is actually a mechanized doll: Coppelia.
