"Coppelia" is a ballet that weaves a whimsical tale set in a small village, where the eccentric inventor Dr. Coppelius creates a lifelike doll named Coppelia. The story unfolds as Franz, a village youth, becomes infatuated with Coppelia, unaware that she is not a living girl but a figure of art. His fiancée, Swanilda, grows jealous and decides to expose the truth. Disguising herself as Coppelia, Swanilda enters Dr. Coppelius's workshop, leading to a series of comedic and enchanting events. Ultimately, love triumphs, and the ballet concludes with a celebration of life, love, and the magic of imagination. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
