National Ballet Company
Offers Robust Fairy Tale
By JUDITH STEINBERG
The performance by the Na-
tional Ballet of Washington, D.C.
in Hill Aud. last night provided
escape and relaxation from mul-
tiversity anid megalopolis as stu-
dents and adults found them-
s'lves in the folk-lore world of
the old rural Hungary of Leo
Delibes' " Coppelia."
The ballet relates a fairy-tale
story of young Franz, who, al-
tugh pledged to the sbslle o
by: the strange and beautiful
*daughter of the eccentric, wizened
doln-maker, Dr. Coppelias. The
jealous Swanilda discovers her
rival to be a life-sized doll and
decides to masquerade as Cop-
Dr oppelias tries to give his
"daulghter"' life in a charming
scene wyhere Swanilda's comical.
mechanical Jerks change to fluid
Independent motion. Swanilda
then reveals her disguise and
fiees from the doll-maker's studio
with Franz. The final scene is the
reconciliation of Swanilda and
Franz and the .celebration of
their betrothal.
"Coppelia" provides something
for everyone. It is not a profound,
dramatic or particularly sensitive
ballet. Instead, It Is comical and

gling of hips, the struts and the
bows and the gestur'es of aston-
ishment are reminiscent of comic
opera.

Both Franz and Swanilda per-

act, with a complicated leap-
