Coppelia

♪♪ -Next, on "Great Performances"... Once upon a time, a girl named Swan is living her best life.

She has cool friends... ♪♪ ...and she's falling in love for the first time.

♪♪ Then, one day, everything changes.

Dr. Coppélius' sinister plot threatens her village and her love, as one by one, all fall under the spell of perfect beauty -- Coppélia.

♪♪ This reframed classic ballet features a blend of live action with animation.

Based on the Dutch National Ballet stage production, ballet star Michaela DePrince dances the lead, with Daniel Camargo... Vito Mazzeo... and Darcey Bussell.

Dr. Coppélius needs a human heart to bring his perfect robot woman to life.

Is there time for Swan to stop his madness?

A modern fairy tale for the whole family... ♪♪ ...next.

♪♪ Major funding for "Great Performances" is provided by... ...and by contributions to your PBS station from viewers like you.

Thank you.
