...Coppélia” was the second, as both Swanilda and Frantz delved into mischief. Swanilda and her friends crept through the dark scenery of Dr. Coppélius’s home, winding up his elaborate mechanical dolls to dance around the workshop. Kuranaga revealed her girlish good when she disguised herself as Dr. Coppélius’s beloved doll, fooling the old toy-maker into thinking his masterwork had come to life.
