Where: Musa Jalil Tatar Opera and Ballet Theatre, Svobody Square, Kazan
Kazan’s Swan Lake brings Tchaikovsky’s music together with Vladimir Vasilyev’s personal interpretation. The 2025 production revisits Odette and Siegfried’s story through different choreography and stage space. It offers an evening for visitors who enjoy narrative ballet and comparing interpretations of familiar works.
Love, deception and painted stage images
The prince meets a young woman transformed into a swan, promises his love and faces a deception that tests the promise. The contrast between palace life and the enchanted lake shapes the drama.
Vasilyev created the choreography, and his paintings are used in the stage design. Look beyond individual dances to explore how movement connects with the production’s visual world.
December evenings
The performances are announced for 2 and 3 December 2026 at 18:00 at the Musa Jalil Tatar Opera and Ballet Theatre, Svobody Square. The playbill gives a duration of 2 hours 50 minutes, with two intervals, and an age rating of 12+. Check tickets and cast for your chosen date.
