This world premiere production marks Cleveland Ballet’s second performance in its debut season at the Ohio Theatre.  As Cleveland’s only resident ballet company, Cleveland Ballet boasts a company of seven core dancers and four apprentices. As a professional ballet company, dancers rehearse full time with Cleveland Ballet for the entire season. In addition, choreographer Oller builds dances and dramatic moments around Cleveland Ballet company members, ensuring a strong and unique-to-Cleveland world premiere production.

Coppélia tells the story of Swanhilda and Frantz whose carefree romance is threatened when Frantz becomes infatuated with the beautiful Coppélia. Frantz does not know that his heart belongs to a lifesize doll created by the town’s toy maker Dr. Coppélius. Because Franz’s passion for Coppelia is so great he pushes aside his true love, Swanhilda. Eager to win back Franz’s heart, Swanhilda dresses like the doll Coppélia fooling both men into believing the doll has come to life. The danger mounts as Dr. Coppélius seeks to keep the living doll hidden from the world while Frantz tries to run away with his new-found love.
