Moscow Ballet La Classique "Swan Lake"
Following their 2015 sell-out performances of Sleeping Beauty, Moscow Ballet "La Classique" makes a triumphant return to Australasia with Swan Lake - a spellbinding classical romance.
"The greatest success of Russian theatre is undoubtedly classical ballet."
The most splendid ballet of all time is brought to life by Tchaikovsky's masterpiece score. From the moon-lit lake where elegant swans silently glide to the magnificent opulence of the palace ballroom, Odile, the temptress in a cloud of black tulle, provides a ravishing counterpoint to the purity and innocence of Odette, the beautiful swan Queen. A fairy tale story of a tragic romance. The unrivalled skill and pathos of the famous Moscow Ballet "La Classique" is a visual feast.
See their performance in Invercargill on Friday 28th April 2017 in the Civic Theatre. Click here to book or call 0800 224 224 or (03) 211 1692.
