First performed in 1870 at the Opéra de Paris, Coppélia is a beloved masterpiece in the world ballet repertoire, accompanied by the splendid music of Léo Delibes. Over the years, La Scala has showcased various choreographic versions of this timeless ballet, with the most recent production dating back to 2009. However, the upcoming season will mark a significant milestone as renowned choreographer Alexei Ratmansky unveils his new interpretation of Coppélia.
As one of the most sought-after choreographers of our time, Ratmansky brings his creative brilliance to La Scala, honoring the theater and its Ballet Company with the world premiere of this new Coppélia. Ratmansky’s collaboration with La Scala has been long and stimulating, and this latest venture promises to be a testament to his artistic prowess.
The ballet Coppélia is about love and jealousy and the dream of using magic to create people.
The action takes place in a small village in Galicia, where Doctor Coppélius has created a beautiful human-sized doll that he intends to bring to life using magic.
Swanilda and Franz are engaged, but the Coppélia doll on the doctor’s balcony draws Franz’s attention, making Swanilda jealous.
The typical dances mazurka and czardas are danced at the village festival. When Doctor Coppélius’ house is broken into, Swanilda slips into the role of the doll and charms Franz.
In the end, everything turns out well and the fiancée’s wedding is celebrated.
