The ballet is based on an original tale by E.T.A. Hoffmann.

In the story an eccentric inventor named Dr. Coppélius creates a life-size dancing doll that captures the heart of a village boy called Franz.

Ignoring his real girlfriend, Swanhilda, the young man comes up with a plan to meet Coppelia. Chaos ensues when Swanhilda and a group of girls from the village decide to sneak into Dr. Coppelius’s house as well.
