Britain's What's On Event Guide
Swan Lake
Varna International Ballet returns for a new season in 2025 brought to life by magical special effects.
Performed by Varna International Ballet and accompanied by a live orchestra, Varna International Ballet Orchestra.
The greatest romantic ballet of all time is brought to life by Tchaikovsky’s haunting and unforgettable score. From the impressive splendour of the Palace ballroom to the moon-lit lake where swans glide in perfect formation, this compelling tale of tragic romance has it all. From Odile, the temptress in black tulle as she seduces the Prince by spinning with captivating precision to the spellbound purity of the swan queen, Odette as she flutters with emotional intensity, the dual role of Odette/Odile is one of ballet’s most unmissable technical challenges.
