‘Swan Lake’: American Ballet Theatre

The classic story of the princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer is brought to life in this quintessential performance by the American Ballet Theatre, accompanied by Tchaikovsky’s original 1876 score. The ballet is set in what is being billed as a “visually spectacular” lakeside Renaissance court. Approximately 2 hours 25 minutes.
