Comedy, intrigue and fantasy come alive
Ballet's most charming comedy, live on stage: The Australian Ballet's Regional Tour presents Coppélia.
Swanilda and Franz are in love ... until a beautiful stranger, the daughter of the magician Dr Coppelius, appears in town. But she is not what she seems, and Swanilda must rescue Franz from the magician's sinister workshop - with the help of some fancy footwork!
This sparkling tale of magical and mischief, with its irresistable melodies and 'living dolls', is amusing fun for the whole family. Inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann's stories, Coppélia features exquisite costumes by master designer Kristian Fredrikson.
Laughter and love, lively dancing and vivid colour - treat the family to Coppélia.
Go behind the curtain and see what it takes to dance with The Australian Ballet with a privileged, in-theatre view of the dancer's training, with commentary by artistic staff, in your town.
Join us for a special class taught onstage by our artistic staff. This class will give students the chance to perfect their skills and learn new techniques. Suitable for ages 13-18 with minimum grade six ballet experience.
