Greatest Swanlake in the World
Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece Swan Lake has captivated audiences for more than 140 years, with thousands of performances worldwide. Yet this version by acclaimed British choreographer Derek Deane stands out for its breathtaking beauty and emotional depth.
Featuring an extraordinary cast of 48 swans — double the traditional number — and exceptional artistic quality, this production offers an unforgettable experience.
The elegant “love birds” create mesmerizing scenes that evolve into seamless, ever-shifting formations — a true feast for the eyes. With this almost otherworldly production, China once again demonstrates its place among the global elite in classical ballet.
In the Press
"This is Swan Lake as it should be — but as you rarely get to see it.”
"A flawless, crystal-clear Swan Lake… Like a perfect impressionist painting…
"Breathtaking… otherworldly… deeply moving beauty… pure lyricism, fragile yet full of grace… virtuoso.”
