Schwanensee

A classic production of the International Ballet Company Italia featuring scenographic elements of incredible realism, dazzling costumes, carefully crafted props with intricate details, and a series of enchanting melodies form this great masterpiece of classical ballet. The meeting of composer Peter I. Tchaikovsky with choreographer Marius Petipa was one of the happiest coincidences in ballet history. The fairy tale "Swan Lake" story of the enchanted princess Odette is one of the great, timeless classics of ballet.

Star soloists, a wonderful cast of top ballet dancers, and above all a combination of impeccable acting and virtuoso technical performance await you in this masterpiece.
It is the tale of a prince who falls in love with Odette, who has been transformed into a white swan by the sorcerer Rothbart. And this love is put to the test: lyrical and tragic, festive and intimate in the atmospheric setting of the "white pictures" at the lake in contrast to the magnificent and colorful costumes at the royal court, promises a varied festive evening of great classical ballet.
A beautiful, romantic story that touches the soul.
