There are three screenings – Wednesday June 15 at 18h30, and two on Thursday June 16 (Public Holiday – Youth Day) at 14h00 and 18h30, all at the Rhumbelow Durban.
Running time: 3 hours & 20 minutes (including two intervals).
The classic Swan Lake fairy tale represents the battle between good and evil, and the attempt of love to conquer all. The magic of the lakes, forests and palaces is brought to life with glittering designs by John Macfarlane and a sublime score by Tchaikovsky.
The Royal Ballet’s sumptuous production of Swan Lake returns to the Royal Opera House stage after its 2020 revival was interrupted by the pandemic’s closure of theatres. This classic of the repertory is testament to the late choreographer Liam Scarlett’s abiding love of classicism and innate musicality, which shine through this production.
The cast is headed by Lauren Cuthbertson (Odette/Odile) and William Bracewell (Prince Siegfried)
Original choreography: Marius Petipa and
Lev Ivanov
Music: Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky
Production: Liam Scarlett
Additional choreography: Liam Scarlett and
