Question

In George Balanchine’s 1974 staging of a ballet named for one of these characters, dancers dress up as Vikings and Roman soldiers to personify Discord and War. Josef Bayer’s most famous Austrian court ballet inspired a later ballet in which two of these characters played by Lydia Lopokova and choreographer Léonide Massine dance the can-can to a Rossini piece arranged by Ottorino Respighi. A ballet titled for one of these characters (10[1])was one of the first to include folk dances like the mazurka, which is danced before the Burgomaster announces the arrival of a new bell. That ballet named after one of these characters contains the Act III divertissement “Waltz of the Hours.” After he is drugged, Franz’s life force is given to Swanhilda, who is disguised as one of these characters created by a doctor. For 10 points, a mechanical example of what type of character comes to life in Léo Delibes’s ballet Coppélia? ■END■

ANSWER: dolls [accept automatons or automata; prompt on toys or puppets or figurines] (The two ballets referenced in the second sentence are The Fairy Doll and The Magic Toyshop.)
