Swan Lake - Royal Classical Ballet

Classical ballet—what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Nine times out of ten, the image that springs to mind is that of a graceful ballerina in a shimmering white tutu, her face framed by white feathers. Add to that a noble prince who falls madly in love with this ethereal creature... We don’t know where it comes from, yet it’s always the same image from *Swan Lake*. This single image embodies what classical ballet means to many—then as now. With over 100 years of undisputed popularity among international audiences, *Swan Lake* is one of the most beloved works in the classical ballet repertoire! Using the finest traditional ballet language, the ballet tells the story of Prince Siegfried, Princess Odette, and the sorcerer Rothbart—a tale of longing, loneliness, jealousy, anger, pain, happiness, and, above all, the triumph of love over evil. Utmost perfection and striking aesthetics combine to create a first-class ballet experience. For young and old alike, it’s a welcome opportunity to experience the unique perfection of ballet and effortlessly discover the enchanting world of dance. With their floating lightness and elegance, the ballet dancers make you forget the precise work and athletic rigor behind the performance. With precise, wing-like movements, Royal Classical Ballet transports you to a world of weightlessness and poetry. Each scene is brought to life through a narrative, so that even the youngest members of the audience can follow the danced scenes and the ballet’s storyline.
