Selections From The Classic

City Ballet of San Diego present stunning selections from one of history's most beloved ballets Swan Lake! Presenting the second act, in which a moonlit lakeside plays host to Siegfried and Odette's first meeting, as well as the Black Swan Pas De Deux in which Odile's deception comes to pass, this majestic performance of some of the best loved scenes from Tchaikovsky's classic is a delight to behold. As well as this, Elizabeth Wistrech's ballet set to the rock music of Beth Hart's 2003 album Leave the Light On gets a much deserved airing, completing a fantastic program to witness!

Thought to be based on Russian and German folklore, Swan Lake is the story of a young Prince, a Princess bewitched as a Swan, their forbidden love and the evil sorcerer they must overcome to lift his terrible curse. Enchanting from the first notes of Tchaikovsky's glorious music, prepare yourself to be swept away by the glory of this historic masterpiece.
