The acclaimed dance sensation returns

For more than 140 years, Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece Swan Lake has been performed thousands of times around the world. Yet this version by British ballet maestro Derek Deane stands out for its deeply moving beauty.

With no fewer than 48 swans on stage instead of the usual 24, and an unprecedented level of quality, this production offers an experience like no other. The breathtaking “love birds” create enchanting scenes that transform into perfectly harmonious, ever-changing formations.

​

When the romantic sounds of Tchaikovsky merge with the dancers’ movements, pure magic is born — a magic that touches the heart and gives wings to the soul. The delicate ballerinas form a mesmerising, homogeneous ensemble, creating stunning, ever-shifting patterns that are a feast for the eyes. The serene tableaux evoke the paintings of Degas and go straight to the heart.

With this almost otherworldly production, China proves that it also belongs to the absolute world elite in the field of classical ballet
