Swan Lake

One of the most enduring ballets in the world
Why see Swan Lake?
A Must See
With Tchaikovsky's recognisable score and scenes featuring some of the most iconic imagery in classical ballet, no company's repertoire is complete without a flagship production of Swan Lake. Unsurprisingly, the English National Ballet does not disappoint with this thrilling rendition of the bewitching supernatural romance, bringing the struggle of Odette to life with timeless choreography from Derek Deane, sumptuous sets, and glittering costumes. One for the ages, the ENB's talent and creativity keep the story fresh for all audiences, be they a ballet beginner or a seasoned devotee.
Based on an amalgamation of folk tales, Swan Lake is the story of a beautiful maiden, Odette imprisoned in the body of a Swan by a malevolent sorcerer Von Rothbart. At night, her and her sisters are allowed to assume human form. One such night, the dashing Prince Seigfried happens upon her and the two fall instantly in love. What comes next is a romantic, dream-like magical adventure that sees the couple face off with the wrath of Rothbart and break the curse in an attempt to find their happy ending.
