Swanhilda notices her fiancee Franz is infatuated with the beautiful CoppĂ©lia who sits reading on her balcony each day. Nearly breaking up the two sweethearts, CoppĂ©lia is not what she seems and Swanhilda decides to teach Franz a lesson⊠The Bolshoiâs unique version of CoppĂ©lia exhibits a fascinating reconstruction of the original 19th century choreography of this ebullient comedy involving a feisty heroine, a boyish fiancee with a wandering eye, and an old dollmaker. The companyâs stunning corps de ballet shines in the divertissements and famous âdance of the hours,â and its principals abound in youthful energy and irresistible humor in this effervescent production.
