Charlottesville Ballet Presents: Swan Lake

Step into the enchanting world of Swan Lake, one of classical ballet’s most beloved and enduring masterpieces. This reimagining, staged by Director of Repertoire Caitlin Lennon, brings fresh artistry to the timeless tale of love, deception, and transformation. Prince Siegfried encounters the mysterious Odette, a beautiful young woman cursed to live as a swan by day and human by night. As the prince vows his devotion to her, the sorcerer Von Rothbart and his cunning daughter Odile threaten to destroy their love through betrayal and illusion. Set to Tchaikovsky’s iconic score, Swan Lake weaves together breathtaking choreography, sweeping romance, and unforgettable beauty in a story that has captivated audiences for generations.

This production is presented in two acts with one 15-minute intermission. Runtime is approximately 90 minutes.
