Mesmerizing audiences for over 100 years, Swan Lake is
considered by many to be the greatest classical ballet of all time. Now
The Washington Ballet will take on this mysterious, lyrical and
dramatic ballet. The classical enchantment of Swan Lake
involves the beautiful Princess Odette, a passionate prince, and the
wicked sorcerer von Rothbart who captures Odette and turns her into a
swan by day. The evil spell can only be broken when a young man pledges
his love and marries her. Should he betray her, she will remain a swan
forever. This program includes accompaniment by The Evermay Chamber
Orchestra, an ensemble group presented by S&R Foundation under the
patronage of Dr. Ryuji Ueno.
Choreography: Kirk Peterson after Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov
Conductor: Nabil Shehata
