Swan Lake

Performed by the Imperial Russian Ballet - this was a real treat. I love the ballet, and upon hearing that the Imperial Russian Ballet were coming to town, this was definitely not a show to be missed!

Act II was my favourite, when the 'swans' first appear, and when Zigfrid swears his eternal love to Odetta. The ballerinas were so graceful they really did seem to assume their roles as swans, and the scene was just so mystical and magical.


My only gripe would be that Tchaikovsky's music was not really done justice. The music was not performed live and unfortunately was not played on cue. Nevertheless, the costumes were so beautiful, the performance spectacular. Worth every penny!!!
