The most popular of all classical ballets, Swan Lake is the ultimate tale of betrayal and everlasting love.
First performed in 1877, the ballet's stunning choreography and demanding roles require dancers to be technically precise and to possess commanding dramatic ability. The coveted dual role of Odette and Odile is considered one of the most cherished in a ballerina's repertoire, and the intricate work of the Corps de Ballet lends an ethereal air to this fantasy world. Set to Tchaikovsky's magnificent score, Swan Lake is an emotionally charged production that will take your breath away.
