The Mariinsky Ballet opens its Royal Opera House season with its spellbinding production of Konstantin Sergeyev‘s Swan Lake, based on Petipa and Ivanov’s great masterpiece.

Lyrical, mysterious and dramatic, the Mariinsky creates an imaginary world where Prince Siegfried and the swan-princess Odette affirm their love for each other, conquering the forces of evil.

Tchaikovsky’s ravishing music combines with peerless choreography showing the Mariinsky’s famed corps de ballet in all its beauty.
