Swan Lake

The Russian National Ballet returns to Armstrong for its fifth appearance with a proven track record of creating breathtaking artistry. Since its premiere at Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre in 1877, Swan Lake has become one of the world’s most revered of classical ballets. Set to Tchaikovsky’s soaring score and choreographed by the legendary Marius Petipa, the 60 dancers of the Russian National Ballet weave this epic tale of a young man’s love for the swan queen together with the exquisite grace and technical precision of the great Russian ballet tradition.
