The State Ballet Theatre of Russia presents: Swan Lake

The State Ballet Theatre of Russia brings the world’s most beloved ballet, “Swan Lake,” to glorious life for one weekend only Feb. 4 – 5 at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University. Hailed by the New York Times as “full of enchantment,” this company of distinguished dancers has showcased the unparalleled art of Russian ballet to countries throughout the world. Set to Tchaikovsky’s magnificent score, with choreography by M. Petipa and L. Ivanov, the ballet tells the timeless story of a young prince named Siegfried who falls in love with Odette, a princess who takes human form at night but each morning is turned into a swan by the evil sorcerer Von Rothbart. In this consummate tale of love conquering all, the spell may only be broken if a prince pledges eternal fidelity to her.
