Summary

Why does the summary of this article include the apparently spurious information about Standage's survey of mechanical dolls in 19th century entertainment, and their connection to Babbage's inventions? These may interest some readers investigating the ballet, but they are not adequately important to be in the introduction to the article. Robroot (talk) 16:43, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Story?

how did she die? and was she in any other famous or not so famous ballets? Guisippina i mean.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.132.56.75 (talk • contribs) 15:22, 10 July 2006.

As is said in the article on her, Giuseppina Bozzachi died of cholera in Paris. I know not of other significant roles she danced; she was a child prodigy, but still very young when she joined Coppélia and she died soon after that. -- Rmrfstar 02:27, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The line about Franz's role being danced in drag until the 1940s seems very very out of place in this article. Unless someone can suggest a better place for it, I'm tempted to remove it completely. -- Splowey 19:25, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Frantz's (note the correct spelling) role having been danced en travesti, not "drag," as you so crassly put it, is actually a relevant part of the play's history - that such a convention existed for a given play for eighty years (if only in Paris) is clearly valuable knowledge. Mary Martin, of course, acted the part of Peter Pan en travesti for many years; no one thought the worse of that, and it's often mentioned in popular-audience accounts of the play's history. Please try plucking your mind out of the gutter.loupgarous (talk) 05:21, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just an FYI: Coppelia is also the name of THE ice cream brand/parlor chain in Cuba (as far as I know, no accent there, but I might be wrong): [[1]]--STLEric 19:30, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Popular culture

Does anyone else recall a British children's television adaption in the 1970s, using puppets? I would like to add this to the page, but am uncertain as to which programme it was part of (Watch, possibly, or similar amongst the "for schools and colleges" on BBC2) LeapUK (talk) 16:28, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
