Coppélia's Real Girl: Swanilda

This classic comedic ballet may be named after the mechanical Coppélia, and its leading men may alternately fall for her stiff-armed charms, but the ballet is actually Swanilda’s story of bravery in the wake of romantic disappointment. The role requires a range of skills for a performer, especially the role-playing central to the comic second act, and we spoke toTiler Peck, Sterling Hyltin, and Erica Pereira on the challenges of playing a girl pretending to be a doll.
