La Poupée ("The doll") is a French opéra comique, consisting of a prelude and three acts, by Maurice Ordonneau (libretto) and Edmond Audran (composer).
Based on E.T.A. Hoffmann's Der Sandmann[], the opera opened at the Théâtre de la Gaîté, Paris, on 21 October 1896.
An English libretto in two acts was written by Arthur Sturgess and played at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London from 24 February 1897 for 576 performances. A Broadway production was also done in 1897 and the opera was made into a film in 1920.
