The Grand Kyiv Ballet Presents: Swan Lake on Friday, April 18, 2025 at 7:00pm at the DeYor Performing Arts Center.
Swan Lake has retained its primacy in the hearts of viewers for over 100 years. This beautiful story and magnificent show were created based on the ancient German legend, which tells about the beautiful princess Odette, enchanted into a swan by the curse of the sorcerer. This is a mystical story told to the brilliant music of Pyotr Tchaikovsky and built on the concepts of the struggle of light and darkness, Odette & Odile.
Presented by The Grand Kyiv Ballet, whose leading dancers perform on the best stages of the world, including the Opera National de Paris, Bunka Kaikan in Tokyo, the Palais des Congres in Paris, and on the stage of the National Opera in Oslo.
