What is Coppélia?

Coppélia originally premiered on May 25th, 1870, when the Théâtre Imperial de l’Opera first brought this story to life. They were accompanied by the choreography of Arthur Saint-Léon and music by Léo Delibes. The original story was based on the E.T.A. Hoffmann’s short story Der Sandmann, which explores themes of perception versus reality and imagination run amok. And so continuing in this vein, the ballet typically portrays a young man who falls in love with a doll. This unwinds in humor and mystery in a tale of deception and chaos.

We are excited to continue the tradition of Coppélia, one of the most performed ballet’s of all time. With ballet remaining at the heart of the story, we will bring it into the present/future, featuring a technological twist that is all too relevant to today.

Infusing hip-hop, tap, jazz, lyrical, and many of the other styles of dance studied at IAD, Coppêl-ai is bound to blow minds.

 

June Pro 2025: Continuing the Tradition

IAD has created original stories for our end of the year production for almost two decades. It is a challenge to bring so many styles of dance together into a seamless performance, but we rise to the challenge at IAD! Our shows are entertaining for the entire family. Carry on the tradition of story-telling and imagination, you’re sure to be swept away by these developing artists and future thought leaders.
