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.

Swan Lake

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.

High heels and flirtation fill the air, exuding cool, effortless elegance. Music swings so smoothly it could make angels sing. Come Fly Away is a dance-driven love letter to Frank Sinatra and his velvety voice.
