Witness the essence of the NNT Ballet in this stylish NNTT version
This standard of the classical repertoire is a must-see for any ballet fan. The NNT Ballet first performed Swan Lake in May 1998. The Sergeyev version (from the Mariinsky Ballet) was staged for that first production and each subsequent run. Then in 2006, an exciting new production debuted at the NNTT with updated stage and costume design, and new choreography by Maki Asami. The NNT Ballet repertoire includes a number of modern works based on the classical canon; this version of Swan Lake is a stunningly beautiful, dreamlike work that brings out the striking qualities of the company in their full potential.
Widely acclaimed upon its debut, this will be a repeat run of the NNTT version of Swan Lake.

He asks Odette's forgiveness and fights against his fate, and finally the love of the two breaks the spell.
