Timeless. Majestic. Unforgettable.
Step into the world of Swan Lake – a story of love, magic, and triumph, brought to life through the powerful choreography of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, set to Tchaikovsky’s iconic score.

This production features all-new, hand-painted sets and over 200 custom-designed scenery elements, transforming the stage into a dreamlike landscape. With world-renown ballet artists from Moldova, Spain, Italy, Kyrgyzstan, Romania, United Kingdom, Brazil, Poland, United States, Japan, Turkey, Armenia, Tajikistan, Belarus and Principal Dancers from Ukraine, this performance embodies the spirit of international artistry and excellence.

Every scene – from the poetic “Dance of the Little Swans” to Odile’s dazzling 32 fouetté turns – is a celebration of classical ballet in its most pure and expressive form.

Ballet in Two Acts with one intermission

Family-friendly – suitable for ages 3 and up

The Daily Texan:

“The magic of Swan Lake transcends generations.”

“Odile perfectly executed the iconic 32 fouetté turns – one of the most anticipated and difficult scenes.”

“Swan Lake continues to inspire dancers and patrons of the arts to appreciate a performance that never loses its sparkle.”

With more than 10 years of experience presenting internationally acclaimed productions, Classical Arts Entertainment is proud to share this artistic journey with communities across North America.

ALL PATRONS regardless of age require a ticket for entry. There is a children’s price for ages under 13. The performance is not recommended for children under 3 years old.
