One of the most enduring works in classical ballet returns in a full-scale touring production of Swan Lake, performed with a live orchestra.

World Ballet Company brings a cast of 50 international dancers, more than 150 hand-sewn costumes, and elaborate handcrafted sets to the stage for this sweeping retelling of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece. From the precision of the Dance of the Little Swans to the technical brilliance of the Black Swan’s 32 fouettés, the production leans fully into the grandeur and drama that have made Swan Lake a cornerstone of the ballet repertoire.

Tchaikovsky’s score is performed live, amplifying the emotional arc of the story as fate, transformation, and redemption unfold across two acts.
