Coppelia

CoppELia

In February of 2019, Ballet Spartanburg presented Coppelia on the stage of the Chapman Cultural Center. The ballet is such a family-friendly ballet full of comedy, madcap mischief, magic and mayhem. Dr. Coppelius brings a beautiful doll to life named Coppelia.... or so he thinks. The audience is transported to Dr. Coppelius's studio where he creates his dolls. Little does he know, a trick is about to played on him. This amusing and playful ballet was very well-received with adults and children laughing as they watched the mystery unfold.

 

Carlos Agudelo's choreography is original and playful. Originally, this ballet was called, "The Doll with the Enamel Eyes."

 

Sponsors for this ballet were Contec, Inc., The Spartanburg Herald Journal, Amy and Martial Robichaud, Susu and George Johnson and the Susan Patricia Hodge Foundation. We are so very grateful for the support of our sponsors for Coppelia. Thank you.

 

Please enjoy Coppelia in your home with your family. We hope to have an audience in the fall and to see you soon!
