The Ballet Classic

One of history's most beloved ballets, Tchaikovsky's classic romantic tale Swan Lake is a delight to behold. A supernatural love story between a dashing Prince and a cursed Princess, it continues to capture imaginations a century and a half after its debut. Pacific Symphony Orchestra perform a selection of suites from the magnificent work, as well as the US premiere of Cassandra Miller's Swim and Ravel's jazz tinged Piano Concerto in G Major, with Alexandra Dariescu on the ivories.

Thought to be based on Russian and German folklore, Swan Lake is the story of a young Prince, a Princess bewitched as a Swan, their forbidden love and the evil sorcerer they must overcome to lift his terrible curse. Enchanting from the first notes of Tchaikovsky's glorious music, prepare yourself to be swept away by the glory of this historic masterpiece.
