Introduction to Coppélia - Presented by Singapore Ballet

Introduction to Coppélia, presented by Singapore Ballet in collaboration with Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, invites families to experience the enchanting world of ballet on Feb. 14, 2026, from 2 PM at the Esplanade Concert Hall. This playful, one-hour performance introduces young audiences to the timeless story of Coppélia, a tale of love, mischief, and lively dancing, with no intermission, making it ideal for viewers aged two and above.

Set in the quaint village of Galicia, the performance follows the charming Franz, who is determined to win the heart of Swanilda. Unexpectedly, a mysterious mechanical doll created by Dr. Coppélius captures his attention, leading to a delightful adventure filled with surprises, humor, and vibrant music. From bustling village squares to the joyful Festival of the Bells, the dancers bring this magical story to life with excerpts from the full-length ballet, offering a light-hearted introduction to classical ballet for young audiences.

After the performance, guests are invited to meet the dancers for a special post-show session, providing a memorable opportunity to interact with the artists and learn more about the art of ballet. Tickets are priced at S$22, and the event is eligible for SG Culture Pass credits for visitors using the program.
