Timeless. Majestic. Unforgettable.

Step into the world of “Swan Lake” – a story of love, magic, and triumph, brought to life through the powerful choreography of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, set to Tchaikovsky’s iconic score.

This production features all-new, hand-painted sets and over 200 custom-designed scenery elements, transforming the stage into a dreamlike landscape. With world-renowned ballet artists from Moldova, Spain, Italy, Kyrgyzstan, Romania, United Kingdom, Brazil, Poland, United States, Japan, Turkey, Armenia, Tajikistan, Belarus and Principal Dancers from Ukraine, this performance embodies the spirit of international artistry and excellence.

Every scene – from the poetic “Dance of the Little Swans” to Odile’s dazzling 32 fouetté turns – is a celebration of classical ballet in its most pure and expressive form.

The Daily Texan:

• “The magic of Swan Lake transcends generations.”


• “Odile perfectly executed the iconic 32 fouetté turns – one of the most anticipated and difficult scenes.”


• “Swan Lake continues to inspire dancers and patrons of the arts to appreciate a performance that never loses its sparkle.”
