Birmingham Royal Ballet's Swan Lake Tours the UK

Birmingham Royal Ballet’s Swan Lake showcases at several theatres throughout the United Kingdom this Spring. 

The dancers performing this revival of Sir Peter Wright and Galina Samsova’s version of this epitome of classical ballet will be accompanied by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia playing Tchaikovsky’s iconic score in Southhampton, Birmingham, Salford, Sunderland, Plymouth, and Edinburgh.

Prince Siegfried is out hunting one night when he happens upon a flock of graceful swans. When one of them turns into a beautiful woman, the Prince is utterly smitten – but Odette explains that she has fallen under an evil spell cast by the evil Baron von Rothbart, which keeps her in swan form from dawn to dusk. Can Siegfried’s love break the spell? Find out in this exquisite production of a true ballet classic.
