Part of the Cal Poly Arts Great Performances Series, the 19th Century, Romantic era masterpiece of comedy is presented at a special 7 p.m. curtain time. “Coppelia” takes place in three acts and tells the story of two mischievous lovers who, on the eve of their nuptials, find their affection for each other surprisingly put to the test. The beloved classical ballet was first presented by the Paris Opera Ballet on May 2, 1870. The Miami City Ballet production captures the timeless beauty and sweet sensibilities of the classic story.

His career is said to have established the male's role in classical dance in the U.S. Villella's vision and style for the Company is based on the neoclassical 20th-century aesthetic established by famed choreographer George Balanchine. The Company’s repertoire features 90 ballets -- including 38 world premieres -- ranging from Balanchine masterworks to pieces by contemporary choreographers such as Paul Taylor.
