Event Details
Timeless. Majestic. Unforgettable.
Step into the world of Swan Lake – a story of love, magic, and triumph, brought to life through the powerful choreography of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, set to Tchaikovsky’s iconic score.
This production features all-new, hand-painted sets and over 200 custom-designed scenery elements, transforming the stage into a dreamlike landscape. With world-renown ballet artists from Italy, Spain, Georgia, Ireland, Turkey, Brazil, Great Britain, Ukraine, Japan, Tajikistan, Moldova, and Kazakhstan, this performance embodies the spirit of international artistry and excellence.
Every scene – from the poetic “Dance of the Little Swans” to Odile’s dazzling 32 fouetté turns – is a celebration of classical ballet in its most pure and expressive form.
Ballet in Two Acts with one intermission
Family-friendly – suitable for ages 3 and up
