Grace and Drama Set to Tchaikovsky’s Iconic Music.

Nothing surpasses the grandeur of Swan Lake. The poignant story of the impossible love between a melancholic prince and the most beautiful of birds continues to resonate deeply with audiences.

The swan, one of nature’s most captivating creatures, embodies grace and feminine beauty, yet also possesses a majestic presence as it glides across the water. The late 19th-century inspiration to have ballerinas, with their inherent elegance, portray swans in Swan Lake was a stroke of genius. The young, introspective Prince Siegfried falls in love with the delicate Swan Princess, Odette, but is also drawn to her double, Odile. One represents purity and poetry; the other, seduction and deceit.

A conversation about ballet

Harmony and peace are quintessential to Bournonville's ballets, but beneath the idyll of A Folk Tale, there lurks an undercurrent that simmers, bubbles and vibrates with life.
