Swan Lake at the historic Mariinsky, November 2026

Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake tells a story of love, trust and enchantment through ballet. Prince Siegfried meets Odette, but his promise to free her encounters Rothbart’s deception. Even a familiar story takes on a new dimension in a live performance.
