One hundred and thirty-five years ago, audiences heard the music of Swan Lake by the great Russian composer Tchaikovsky for the very first time. From that moment on, the world of ballet has never been the same.

 

Swan Lake is the tale of two young women, Odette and Odile, who resemble each other so closely that one can easily be mistaken for the other.

It is a tragic romance in which a princess, Odette, is turned into a swan by an evil curse. By chance, Prince Siegfried stumbled upon her while he was hunting. When one of the swans turns into a beautiful young woman, he is instantly captivated – will his love prove strong enough to break the evil spell that she is under?

 

From the splendor of the palace ballroom to the moonlit lake where swans glide in perfect formation, this compelling tale of tragic romance has it all.

 

Saint Petersburg State Children's Ballet Theatre, founded in 1992 by the artists of Mariinsky Theatre (teachers & graduates of the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet) from Russia, is made up of around 100 child dancers, aged 7 to 17 years. Classically trained, these children have become highly skilled dancers, and have been invited to perform across the world, in countries including Austria, Hungary, England, France, Belgium as well as many others. After their years of training, these children quickly become some of the top-ranked ballet dancers. With the combination of excellent dance skills and a world famous ballet, this show is sure to be one to remember. With magical choreography and a score written by the legendary Tchaikovsky, this show has gone down in history as a favorite of all ballet fans.
