Coastal City Ballet Presents: Coppélia
A family-friendly ballet full of wit
Coastal City Ballet brings the delightful comedic ballet Coppélia to Vancouver audiences for the highlight of its 2024/2025 season. Coppélia tells a whimsical tale of love, mistaken identity, and playful deception: Along with colorful costumes and fantastical sets, it is a ballet the whole family will enjoy. Following the tremendous success of Giselle in 2024, Coastal City Ballet presents this family-friendly production on June 6th at Surrey Arts Centre.
Coppélia is a beloved three-act ballet, originally choreographed by Arthur Saint-Léon, with a lively score by Léo Delibes based on E.T.A. Hoffmann’s short story Der Sandmann (The Sandman). It premiered on May 25, 1870, at the Paris Opéra and has remained a favorite in the classical ballet repertoire.
