SYNOPSIS
FIRST ACT Swanilda is approaching the house of Dr. Coppelius, raises her eyes to a balcony, where Coppelia, the daughter of old Coppelius, is seen, sitting with a book absorbed in her reading. She never goes out from this mysterious residence. Swanilda tries to attract her attention, but Coppelia has her eyes always fixed on her book, of which she does not even turn the leaves. Frantz, who at first was going toward Swanilda house, suddenly stops. Coppelia is at the window. He bows to her. At the same time she turns her head and appears to return Frantz’s salute. Frantz throws a kiss to Coppelia. Swanilda is furious against Frantz. Swanilda reproaches him for flirting with another girl. He has deceived her. He loves Coppelia. Frantz tries in vain to defend himself. The Burgomaster announces that on the next day a grand fete will take place — the Lord of the manor has given a bell to the Town. The Burgomaster approaches Swanilda. He tells her that tomorrow the lord of the manor will give a dowry and marriage to several couples. She is betrothed to Frantz; shall they not be united tomorrow? Ah! but there is time yet, and the young girl looking spitefully at Frantz, tells the Burgomaster that she will tell him a story. It is the story of a straw which reveals all secrets. Swanilda takes the straw from a bundle, and placing it to her ear, pretends to listen; then she tells Frantz to listen also. Does it not tell him that he does not love Swanilda? Coppelius leaves his house and securely fastens the door. He has not gone many steps, before he is surrounded by a group of young fellows; some of whom want to take him away with them, while the others want to make him dance. The old man goes off swearing. The girls suggest to Swanilda to visit the mysterious house. At first Swanilda hesitates, but she wants to meet this rival. The girls enter the house of Coppelius after they find a key which Coppelius must have dropped. Frantz is seen coming up, carrying a ladder. He has determined to see what chance he has with Coppelia.

Suddenly Coppelius returns home and he runs after the girls until they disappear down the back stairs. Frantz appears and goes toward the spot where he has seen Coppelia, when two stout hands seize him. He tries to escape, but the old man holds him tightly. After confronting him Dr. Coppelius gets an old flagon of wine and two goblets and makes Frantz drink. Frantz tries to get out of the situation. But his legs give way, he falls heavily on the chair and is asleep. Coppelius gets a magic book and studies its pages. Then he rolls the pedestal which holds Coppelia. He tries to take away Frantz soul to give life to the young girl. Coppelia rises up, she begins her mechanical motions but then she walks! She lives! Coppelius is almost beside himself with joy. His work has surpassed all that human hand has ever created. Coppelia sees the magic book and asks Coppelius what it means. She examines the dolls and stops in front of Frantz asking if he is also of his creation. She sees a dagger and then amuses herself by thrusting it at Dr. Coppelius. She dances a Spanish dance. Then she finds a Scotch scarf-pin and she dances a jig. She jumps and runs around, throwing everything within her reach to the ground and breaking it! In the midst of all the noise, Frantz wakes up. Swanilda tells Frantz that Coppelia is a doll and they both leave the house. Dr. Coppelius is in grief when he understands that Coppelia continues to be a doll.
