Birmingham Royal Ballet revives Sir Peter Wright and Galina Samsova’s glorious journey into Swan Lake this autumn.
Joined by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia, who will be performing Tchaikovsky’s timeless score alongside BRB’s spectacular dancers, Swan Lake returns to Birmingham Hippodrome Wed 23 Sep – Sat 3 Oct.
Prince Siegfried is out hunting one night when he happens upon a flock of graceful swans. When one of them turns into a beautiful woman, the Prince is utterly smitten – but Odette explains that she has fallen under an evil spell cast by Baron von Rothbart, which keeps her in swan form from dawn to dusk. Can Siegfried’s love break the spell?
Tickets to the Birmingham Royal Ballet: Swan Lake at Birmingham Hippodrome will go on general sale Wed 11 Feb.
