Welcome to Part Three of COPPELIA WEEK where we listen to music and tell the story from Léo Delibes' ballet.
So far we’ve met Franz and Swanhilda, our couple in love. And yesterday, we were introduced to Dr. Coppelius and his daughter, Coppelia. Today, the mystery deepens. Franz is still captivated by her and the fact that she doesn’t move.

She and her friends sneak into the house of Dr. Coppelius and find...?
Listen to today’s episode as we uncover some answers in our mystery!
