Discover the Magic of Ballet
Coppélia, a delightful ballet, weaves a charming tale of whimsy and mischief that captivates audiences of all ages. The story centers around Dr. Coppélius, an eccentric inventor who creates a life-like doll named Coppélia, which unwittingly stirs up chaos in a quaint village. The plot thickens as villagers mistake the doll for a real person, leading to a series of humorous and endearing misunderstandings. The enchanting music by Léo Delibes, vibrant costumes, and meticulously crafted sets transport viewers into a magical world. The dancers’ performances bring the characters to life with grace and precision, making Coppélia an unforgettable spectacle filled with laughter, romance, and a touch of magic. It is a performance that promises not only to entertain but also to leave a lasting impression on all who witness it.
Presented by Portland Metro Arts, a leader in fostering creativity and cultural appreciation in the community.
EXTRA! You can provide a unique opportunity to enrich your students’ educational journey by bringing a pre-performance presentation directly into your classroom for an additional $20.

The presentation is designed to deepen students’ understanding and engagement, providing context and insight that can significantly enhance their appreciation and learning. It’s important to act quickly to secure this opportunity. This experience not only supplements the curriculum but also inspires and captivates students, making learning more dynamic and memorable.
What Our Audience Says
Jason Lee School, 2nd grade
Please, please put us on your mailing list for next year. I could not believe how totally involved my students were.
Cedar Park School, 2nd grade
Once the program began, my students didn’t even move until the end. That says a great deal. Thanks also for the music CD to help the kids become familiar with the score. They were humming the tunes for weeks after.
Arleta School, 4th/5th grade
Some of my students had never seen a ballet before. Even the boys who try to be tough and cool were fascinated.
