Marin Veterans' Memorial Auditorium, San Rafael

This astonishing company presents a brilliant new choreography of this charming ballet about a young villager who falls in love with a life-size dancing doll. Franz becomes infatuated with Coppélia, the creation of the diabolical Dr. Coppélius, much to the chagrin of his fiancée Swanhilde, who decides to show him his folly by dressing as the doll and pretending to come to life.

The exquisite costumes, flowing music, and comical characters make the presentation of this masterpiece an occasion not to be missed. Sergei Radchenko formed the company in 1989, bringing together leading dancers from across Russia, to stage new productions of the classics as well as new works, preserving the timeless traditions of Russian Ballet.
