Moscow Festival Ballet "Coppelia"

Like The Nutcracker, Coppelia is based on a story by E.T.A. Hoffman, with a score by Leo Delibes, a composer well-respected outside ballet, and toys that come to life and dance. Considered one of the triumphant comic ballets of the 19th century, Coppelia has been called one of the happiest ballets in existence. Its three lively acts are lighthearted renderings of love, loss, mistaken identity, revenge, reconciliation and, to wrap it all up, a wedding with the promise of happily ever after.
