Description

Swan Lake is one of the most beloved canonical masterpieces of ballet and has been part of The Royal Ballet’s repertoire since 1934. This season, Artist in Residence Liam Scarlett has revived the production to rapturous critical acclaim with dazzling new choreography and the unique vision of designer John Macfarlane. Prince Siegfried chances upon a flock of swans while out hunting. When one of the swans turns into a beautiful woman, Odette, he is enraptured. But she is under a spell that holds her captive, allowing her to regain her human form only at night. Join us for this inspired staging of Tchaikovsky’s immortal classic.
