The Royal New Zealand Ballet is delighted to present a national
tour of New Zealand dance icon Russell Kerr's classic production of
Swan Lake as the centrepiece of our 60th birthday
year.
Considered the greatest of all classical ballets, Swan
Lake is a perfect synthesis of music and dance. We are excited
to be able to present this important revival with the support of
colleagues from the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra (Wellington),
the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra (Christchurch) and the Auckland
Philharmonia Orchestra (Auckland).
With Tchaikovsky's sweeping score - lush, romantic, instantly
recognisable - and Kristian Fredrikson's opulent designs, Swan
Lake transports the audience from ballroom to lakeside. You'll
be caught up in the unfolding tragedy and exalt as the dancers
bring every nuance of their characters alive through ballet at its
most illuminating.
