Royal Ballet 2026/7: Swan Lake (12A)
Princess Odette is bound by a curse, turned into a swan by the evil
sorcerer Von Rothbart. The spell can only be broken by a pledge of eternal
love. When she meets Prince Siegfried, he is immediately enamoured by her
fragile beauty and pledges to free her. But freedom is not promised for Odette
as Von Rothbart conspires to thwart the lovers’ plans.
Liam Scarlett’s production for The Royal Ballet brings together
Tchaikovsky’s towering score and John Macfarlane’s picturesque designs to
create an enduring ballet spectacle of love, treachery and forgiveness.
