April 26-28 Coppélia
LakeCities Ballet Theatre closes its 2012-2013 season with the fanciful ballet, Coppélia. Coppélia is the story of a girl, by the same name, who sits on her balcony all day reading, while speaking to no one. A local boy named Franz falls head over heels for her and decides to marry her, regardless of the fact that he is already engaged. His fiancé, Swanhilda, finds out about Franz’s plans, but soon learns that Coppélia is really only a wind-up doll that belongs to Doctor Coppélius, the town’s mad scientist. Swanhilda decides to impersonate the doll and win back the love of Franz. Chaos fol- lows, but, in the end, Swanhilda and Franz make up and get married. The townspeople celebrate the marriage with festive dances and merriment, as everyone involved goes happily on their way.
