Join us at Dendy Cinemas for a magical live broadcast screening of The Australian Ballet – Swan Lake. A stunning and dynamic new production of Tchaikovsky’s timeless classic from artistic director David Hallberg, this timeless and enduring love story is the centrepiece of The Australian Ballet’s 60th anniversary celebrations.
Exploring the ballet’s themes of yearning, betrayal and love through a refreshing new lens, this adaptation will embody the beauty and power of the art form and honour our company’s commitment to classical repertoire. Through David’s vision, audiences will be enraptured with ballet’s iconic characters: Prince Siegfried, the Swan Queen Odette and her evil counterpart Odile, in a story of doomed love that continues to move audiences all over the world.
Set to Tchaikovsky’s poignant score, Swan Lake presents ballet's most famous scenes, including the resplendent Act II pas de deux for Siegfried and Odette.
