Covey Center for the Arts | Provo, Utah
A COMEDY SO CHARMING, YOU'LL FORGET TO SIT STILL
The moment the music begins, something delightfully unexpected happens. A lovesick young man. A mysterious toymaker. A doll so lifelike she fools an entire village. And a story so funny, so warm, and so full of surprises that the whole theater erupts in laughter before the first act is over.
For Utah families looking for something genuinely different, Coppélia is the ballet that changes minds about ballet.
Children giggle as Franz schemes his way into trouble. Parents find themselves leaning forward, genuinely invested in how it all unfolds. Date nights become memorable evenings of shared laughter. And first-time ballet audiences walk out wondering why they waited so long.
Utah Metropolitan Ballet's production of Coppélia features dancers who are as much actors and actresses as they are athletes — physicaly dynamic, hilariously expressive, and technically brilliant. Paired with stunning costumes, handcrafted sets, and a live orchestra, it is one of the most purely joyful evenings of entertainment in Utah County.
Whether you've seen a hundred ballets or you've never set foot in a theater, Coppélia is the production that makes you fall in love with live performance all over again.

COPPÉLIA TESTIMONIALS
I honestly didn't know what to expect bringing my kids to a ballet but oh my goodness we were laughing from start to finish!! My son who is 8 kept grabbing my arm every time Franz did something silly. We are already planning to come back next season with grandma. This is the one that got our whole family hooked on ballet for good!!
Took my wife for our anniversary and I'll be honest, she picked it. But wow. The dancers aren't just dancing, they're ACTING. Like genuinely funny, expressive, committed performances that had the whole audience roaring 🤣🎭 The live orchestra alone was worth every penny. Cannot believe this level of talent exists right here in Utah County. We will 100% be back 🩰✨
I've been to alot of ballets over the years and Coppelia honestly suprised me in the best possible way. There's a warmth to this production that you don't always find. The costums, the sets, the way the dancers carry themselves with such humor and grace all at once. It reminded me why live performance is something speciel that nothing else can replicate. Beautifull evening from start to finish.
