Swan Lake (12A)

Royal Opera House Live 23-24

A dancer poses in Swan Lake

Classical ballet's most powerful tale of love, treachery and forgiveness returns to the Royal Opera House stage.

Out hunting, Prince Siegfried chances upon a flock of swans. One among them transforms into the beautiful human Odette and he is immediately enamoured. But Odette is bound by a spell which keeps her captive as a swan during the day. Can Siegfried free her?

Tchaikovsky’s sensational score combines with the evocative imagination of choreographer Liam Scarlett and designer John Macfarlane to heighten the dramatic pathos of Marius
Petipa
and Lev Ivanov’s quintessential ballet classic.

Swan Lake remains to this day one of the best-loved works in the classical ballet canon.
