Swan Lake is coming to Athens for one night only as part of the World Ballet Series’ ongoing tour of the U.S. The series was created to bring renewed productions of ballet classics to audiences around the country in order to keep accessibility for this art form alive. The production will feature a multinational ensemble of 50 dancers from the World Ballet Company, and will be steeped in artistic expression, from its hand-painted sets, handmade costumes by Sergey Novikov and makeup by Irina Strukova, to its storytelling and signature Tchaikovsky accompaniment. This version of Swan Lake will use Marius Petipa’s original choreography, with some adjustments by Nadezhda Kalinina. Discounted group rates are available.
