Out hunting, Prince Siegfried chances upon a flock of swans. One among them transforms

into the beautiful human Odette and he is immediately enamoured. But Odette is bound by a

spell which keeps her captive as a swan during the day. Can Siegfried free her?

Tchaikovsky’s sensational score combines with the evocative imagination of choreographer

Liam Scarlett and designer John Macfarlane to heighten the dramatic pathos of Marius

Petipa and Lev Ivanov’s quintessential ballet classic. Swan Lake remains to this day one of

the best-loved works in the classical ballet canon.
