Coppelia is a celebrated 19th-century comic ballet about young lovers Swanhilda and Franz. The story unfolds in a village where Franz is captivated by a mysterious girl, Coppelia, who is really a life-sized doll created by the eccentric inventor Dr. Coppelius. Swanhilda becomes suspicious and investigates, discovering the truth about the doll. Franz sneaks into Coppelius's workshop and is tricked into drinking a potion, with Coppelius hoping to transfer Franz's life force to animate Coppelia. Swanhilda, disguised as the doll, tricks Coppelius into believing she's alive, leading to a series of comedic events. Ultimately, the truth is revealed, Franz and Swanhilda escape, and the village celebrates with festival and dance. The ballet concludes happily with the couple's wedding and festive dances.
