Swan Lake
Classical ballet for children

from 4 years

An evil sorcerer has turned the beautiful young princess Odette into a swan
when she ventured too close to the shore of his lake. There is an old castle
near the lake, where a beautiful princess lives with her son Siegfried. Prince Siegfried is magically attracted to the beautiful
swans in the lake. He has no idea that they are in fact
young girls who have all been transformed into swans
by the evil sorcerer and who always take on human form for an hour at midnight
. Prince Siegfried falls in love with Princess Odette and learns from her the secret of her transformation, and that she can only be released from the spell through the love and loyalty of a man...
So begins the beautiful fairy tale of Swan Lake, Pyotr Tchaikovsky's most beloved ballet classic. Swan Lake is the most popular ballet of all. For many, it has become synonymous with ballet
. In addition, the music to Swan Lake is one of the most beautiful ballet scores par excellence.
A very special, beautiful version of this
ballet classic for all children aged 4 to 94 is now coming to the stage,
created for children, but by no means childish! The affectionate performance
is danced for the first time by the Prague Festival Ballet with great
elegance and sophistication. Colorful costumes and an imaginative stage design
promise to enchant every child's heart.
The story is brought to the audience by the charismatic actress Melinda Thompson as the narrator, who captivates young and old alike with catchy little poems full of wit, charm and love.
The Prague Festival Ballet with soloists from leading Prague opera houses
takes you to the wonderland of the playful and romantic,
fairytale-like and dreamy, which should be part of every child's dream
! The choreographer is the talented young dancer Pavla Cervciková - her
completely new choreography remains entirely in the traditional style of the famous
first choreographer of Swan Lake, Marius Petipa, who is generally regarded as the father of classical ballet.
