One of the world’s most beloved comic ballets, Coppélia tells a whimsical tale of a
spirited young heroine, a mysterious doll who seems to come to life, and a touch of
magic. First premiered in 1870 at the Théâtre Impérial de l’Opéra, it remains a
cornerstone of the classical ballet repertoire, cherished for its humor, charm, and vivid
storytelling. Filled with lively characters, mistaken identity, and a sparkling orchestral
score, this enchanting production is staged by Artistic Director Lauren Jonas after
Arthur Saint-Léon, with additional choreography by Diablo Ballet Rehearsal Director
Sean Kelly. Coppélia promises to captivate audiences of all ages, delighting both the
young and the young at heart.
