World Ballet Company: Swan Lake
The World’s Most Iconic Ballet!
Enter a world of magic, mystery and breathtaking beauty. World Ballet Company’s Swan Lake brings Tchaikovsky’s iconic score to life with 50 classically trained dancers, over 150 radiant hand-sewn costumes, and lavish, hand-crafted sets that transport you from moonlit lakes to opulent palace halls. Every scene is visually spectacular, with a focus on the drama and grandeur of this timeless and tragic tale.
Experience the moments that have become cultural touch points around the globe: the electricity of the famous 32 fouettés, the precision of the beloved “Dance of the Little Swans,” and the soaring romance that has made Swan Lake the most iconic ballet of all time. This is classical ballet at its most powerful — unforgettable, emotional, and utterly breathtaking. If you see one ballet (this year, or ever), make it this one. This season, in select cities like Ames, the show will be accompanied by a Live Orchestra!
This performance is made possible, in part, by a generous gift from Jack & the late Cecilia Horner, Rae Reilly, Suzan & John Shierholz.
