Step into the world of Swan Lake – a story of love, magic, and triumph, brought to life through the powerful choreography of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, set to Tchaikovsky’s iconic score.
This production features all-new, hand-painted sets and over 200 custom-designed scenery elements, transforming the stage into a dreamlike landscape. With world-renowned ballet artists from Moldova, Spain, Italy, Kyrgyzstan, Romania, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Poland, the United States, Japan, Turkey, Armenia, Tajikistan, Belarus, and Principal Dancers from Ukraine, this performance embodies the spirit of international artistry and excellence.
Every scene – from the poetic “Dance of the Little Swans” to Odile’s dazzling 32 fouetté turns – is a celebration of classical ballet in its purest and expressive form.
