This production is part of a major European tour spanning Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway.

Swan Lake, with music by P.I. Tchaikovsky and choreography by Marius Petipa, is a masterpiece that transcends time. It has become a global symbol of ballet and a true gem of the art form. On the moonlit shores of a mysterious lake, Prince Siegfried meets the enchanted swan princess Odette. Captivated by her beauty, he pledges his loyalty to her. But Rothbart’s deceit threatens their love. In the end, love triumphs—and no force can separate two hearts that truly belong together. It’s a deeply romantic tale that will stir every corner of your soul.
