When Mikko Nissinen's version of this ballet debuted in 2014 it was hailed as 'luminous' by The Wall Street Journal. Don't miss this limited engagement as Swan Lake won't return to the stage for several years.

One of the most beloved and quintessential classical ballets, Swan Lake premiered in 1877 and like many of the best stories, it has been retold over the years.

Russian choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov collaborated with Tchaikovsky to create the cherished version that served as Nissinen's inspiration.

While remaining true to their intent, he added choreography and reunited with award-winning designer Robert Perdziola (The Nutcracker) to create the spectacular sets and costumes.

From the very first note of Tchaikovsky's romantic and ageless score, audiences are transported into a world where enchanted swans rise from a misty lake and a love-struck prince is deceived by a cruel and dangerous beauty.

Virtuoso dancing abounds, from the mesmerizing corps of elegant swans, the colorful national dances, and incredible athleticism and grace of Odile's fouettés (whip turns), to the heartbreaking finale when Siegfried's unintentional betrayal and Odette's broken heart dooms the swans to their tragic fate.
