	The California Ballet Company Online - repertoire - Coppelia
		Coppelia (or The girl with enamel eyes) is a mime-ballet in two acts and three scenes.
		She tries to attract the attention of Coppelia, standing as always, still and serious in the window, a strange girl whom the inhabitants suppose to be the old magician-craftsman's daughter.
		Coppelia was, in fact, the last ballet produced at the Paris Opera before the Franco-Prussian War forced that theater to close its doors, and marked the end of an epoch for ballet as for much else.

	The Thresher Online: `Coppelia' enchants with dance (September 29, 1995)
		Coppelia is Houston Ballet's second program of the season, opening last Thursday with Anderson starring as the main character, Swanilda, and Carlos Acosta as her fiancé, Franz.
		Upon finding Coppelia, they finally realize that she really is only a doll, and soon after their discovery, they get caught.
		When she pretends to come to life, she wreaks havoc for the doctor, and during this sequence of events, we see that Anderson's skills are not limited to just beautiful turns and extensions, but also include completing some very intricate footwork.

		Or, she could be quite the soubrette, flicking a disdainful leg to scold her fiance, Frantz for pining over Coppelia, the silent beauty who sits reading on the upstairs balcony of the dollmaker, Dr. Coppelius.
		Frantz falls in love with the doll, believing her to be human, and climbs a ladder to sneak into the dollmaker's workshop.
		Meanwhile, Swanilda and her friends, their knees knocking with fright, but still determined, have crept into the workshop while the dollmaker is out and discovered that Coppelia is only a doll.

	BALLET WEST'S 'COPPELIA' (Perth Theatre, Friday 14 January 2005)
		This may simply be because Perth’s highland charm is yet to be marred by a university full of youngsters; regardless, I seem to be one of the few representing my generation.
		The impetus to attend tonight’s performance of ‘Coppelia’ came when I had the good fortune to be invited on a tour of Argyll and the Isles by HI~Arts in November.
		In actuality, Coppelia herself hasn’t got a huge part; but she is the cause of a few problems.

	Coppélia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The festive wedding-day divertissements in the village square that occupy Act III are often deleted in modern danced versions, though one of the entrées was the first czardas presented on a ballet stage.
		If Mary Shelley's Frankenstein represents the dark side of the theme of scientist as creator of life, then Coppelia is the light side.
		If Giselle is a tragedy set in a peasant village, then Coppélia is a comedy in the same setting.

		When Franz's intrusion into his shop offers the convenient opportunity to try out the magic spells that could bring her to life, he doesn't seem to have been yearning for this moment.
		The presence of the Coppelia doll, sitting at her window alongside Coppelius in Act Three surveying the festivities below, seems strange.
		Onstage and in the audience, there was heartfelt affection for this joyful, eternally elegant dancer who continues to inspire and nourish the art of ballet so generously.

		"Coppelia" is a charmer, with its appealing music by Leo Delibes (the first ballet score with real merit), its comic, happy-ever-after tale of two quarreling lovers, and its brilliant, high-spirited dancing.
		Dr. Coppelius is a foolish old man absolutely besotted with the doll he has created, and when he has the chance to imbue her with life, he jumps at it.
		In "Coppelia" the corps plays a pivotal role in providing the gaiety and sense of village community that surrounds the young lovers.

	FOOTNOTES - Coppelia
		"Coppelia" was developed in 1870, at the height of the Franco-Prussian war.
		Shaken by Franz's sudden interest in Coppelia, Swanilda trusts an ear of wheat to tell her whether or not Franz still loves her.
		But that doesn't mean that they're uncomplicated, particularly the role of the mischevious Swanhilda.But the best character in "Coppelia", and indeed in all of the comic ballets, is Dr Coppelius, the doddering old inventor.

	Dance Review: Royal Ballet preserves veddy British 'Coppelia'
		De Valois would continue to take an interest in the company and was appointed Life Governor until her death at the age of 102 on March 8, 2001.
		Although the company has had subsequent versions of "Coppelia," it reconstructed this particular one in her honor.
		While "Coppelia" is a tasty comic ballet, certainly not in the same league as Royal Ballet's stalwart productions of "Swan Lake" and "Sleeping Beauty" or even the sublime effervescence of Ashton's "La Fille Mal Gardee," it does afford its leads the opportunity for real tour de force.

	Coppelia
		Daniella Cavalleri as the Coppelia doll manages to remain remarkably still, while Swanilda’s jerky rendition of the doll’s inflexible movement makes her seem almost inhuman, and is probably the most skilful and interesting dance of the whole performance.
		The final act, back in the village square, has some simple but evocative solo performances as the village people act out the hours of the day, and the company again manages to combine the atmosphere of a flamboyant provincial wedding with the precision of polished choreography.
		Coppelia is absorbing throughout, as it manages to maintain the narrative to a level where one is watching the story through the movement and not merely watching ballet for ballet’s sake.

		Coppelia is no country lass but a lifelike mechanical doll created by the eccentric, inventing doctor.
		"Coppelia" is loosely based on a story by E.T.A. Hoffmann, who also wrote the story that inspired "The Nutcracker." "Coppelia" was first performed in Paris on May 25, 1870, and features a score by Leo Delibes, who was commissioned by the Paris Opera.

	Alicia Alonso's breathtaking 'Coppelia'
		Alicia Alonso famously did this with the heartbreaking "Giselle," and she did it again with the rambunctious "Coppelia." Her own Ballet Nacional de Cuba returned to Zellerbach Hall with "Coppelia" this weekend, and this truly was dancing for the ages.
		The breathtaking results of her devotion to "Coppelia" were everywhere in evidence at Zellerbach this weekend.
		Then the 1968 Alonso "Coppelia" for her Ballet Nacional de Cuba became, like her definitive 1972 "Giselle" for both the Paris Opera Ballet and the Ballet Nacional de Cuba, the standard by which all other choreographic versions must be judged.

		Coppelia, a mechanical doll made by the toy-maker Dr. Coppelius, is so life-like that some believe she is his daughter.
		The BBC televised and videotaped February 2000 performance of Ninette de Valois' Coppelia by the Royal Ballet is stunning.
		The storyline for Coppelia is so wafer-thin that it's a testament to Delibes lilting score and the delightful choreography that this ballet remains a staple of most ballet companies.

	BALLET: BOSTON'S 'COPPELIA' - New York Times
		The ballet showed how Swanilda caught Franz, her sweetheart, flirting with a mysterious woman named Coppelia and how she learned that Coppelia was only a mechanical doll constructed by Dr. Coppelius, an eccentric inventor.
		What made this ''Coppelia'' special was the fact that it was modeled upon the production danced by the Royal Danish Ballet in Copenhagen, a version choreographically unlike any other.
		Choreographically, the Danish ''Coppelia'' is unconventional because Swanilda is the only person in the entire ballet who dances on point.
