Royal Opera House 2021/22: Swan Lake

This classic fairy tale depicts the struggle between good and evil, and love's quest to conquer all. The magic of the lakes, forests and palaces is breathed into life through the splendid setting by John Macfarlane and the perfect score by Tchaikovsky. The Royal Ballet's magnificent production of Swan Lake returns to the stage of the Royal Opera House after its 2020 revival was interrupted by the theater's closure amid the pandemic. This classic of the repertoire is a testament to the late choreographer Liam Scarlett's enduring love of classical music and innate musicality, which are also evident in this productionv
