Kinderoper | Coppélia

A classic is coming back to life in the Saanenland! One day, this beautiful Coppélia sits on the balcony and brings everything into chaos. But who is she? And who is her father? A sinister magician? What lies behind the locked door of his workshop? And what does this mysterious pair of glasses mean? Children and teenagers from the Saanenland present the famous ballet as an exciting theatrical experience between illusion and reality and unveil the mystery of Coppélia: imaginative, thrilling, and full of dance and music.
