Swan Lake

Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov | Ballet in Four Acts
From the Royal Ballet, London | Approximate running time: 180 minutes (including two intermissions)
The battle between white and black swan unfolds in Swan Lake, surely the greatest of all Romantic
ballets. Tchaikovsky’s haunting music heightens the steps of prima ballerina Zenaida Yanowsky in this
definitive production from the Royal Ballet, with choreography by Marius Petipa and production by
Anthony Dowell. Nehemiah Kish dances the role of Prince Siegfried.
