A dream of ballet: "Swan Lake"

The International Festival Ballet presents a fairytale of beauty, elegance and grace. A consummate work of art, accompanied by a live orchestra.

"Swan Lake" is, for many, synonymous with ballet. This romantic tale of the young Prince Siegfried, who falls in love with the swan princess Odette and wishes to free her from the evil spell cast by the sorcerer Baron von Rothbart, is a story about the power of true love.

This ballet forms part of the standard repertoire of every major company. The Allegro Moderato of the Swan dances from the second act, in particular, has been parodied countless times and is therefore known as the "dance of the four little swans" far beyond the ballet-going public.

In short: a brilliant work by a brilliant composer that has captivated audiences for centuries.

"Swan Lake" is presented almost magically on stage by one of the finest classical ballet companies, the International Festival Ballet. In addition, the magnificent sets by the brilliant theatre designer Vyacheslav Okunev, who has worked for the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg and La Scala in Milan among others, the sumptuous costumes, and the boundless elegance and carefree lightness of the "International Festival Ballet" guarantee a dreamy, enchanting version of a classical ballet that still fascinates after more than 100 years.
