Liam Scarlett’s
glorious production of Swan Lake, new
in 2018, returns for its first revival. While remaining faithful to the Marius
Petipa/Lev Ivanov text, Scarlett’s additional choreography and John
Macfarlane’s magnificent designs breathe new life into what is arguably the
best-known and most-loved classical ballet. The entire Company shines in this
eternal tale of doomed love, a masterpiece filled with iconic moments.
Tchaikovsky’s first score for ballet soars with its symphonic sweep and
combines perfectly with exquisite choreography from the grand pas de deux of
Prince Siegfried and Odile to the swans at the lakeside. An intoxicating mix of
spectacle and intimate passion, the overall effect is irresistible.
Screening Live to the Skyroom. Approximate running time: 3 hours
