Coppélia Synopsis: Life-like doll, Coppélia, sits on her balcony all day reading and never speaking to anyone. Franz, the fiancé of Swanhilda, falls deeply in love with Coppélia and wants to marry her despite his prior engagement.  Swanhilda becomes jealous when she sees Franz throwing kisses at Coppélia and soon learns that Coppélia is actually a doll that belongs to Doctor Coppélius, the mad scientist. Swanhilda decides to impersonate the doll, in order to win the love of Franz. Chaos ensues, but all is soon forgiven.
