A light-hearted and humorous ballet, Coppélia opens the 2013 Season to celebrate SDT’s 25th Silver Anniversary. Based on the book by Charles Nuitter, after E.T.A. Hoffmann’s “Der Sandmann,” this vibrant three-act ballet features a new staging by Artistic Director Janek Schergen with choreography by Arthur Saint-Léon and music by Leo Delibes. Let the drama and magic sweep you away as the young villager Franz incurs the wrath of his jealous girlfriend, Swanilda, and gets embroiled in the hilarious delusions of an eccentric toy maker, Dr Coppélius.
