Boston Ballet at The Music Center's Dorothy Chandler Pavilion

Step into the enchanting world of Swan Lake, a masterpiece of classical ballet that has mesmerized audiences for generations with exquisite dancing, enchanting music and a timeless tale of love and loss. Boston Ballet Artistic Director Mikko Nissinen’s exquisite production follows the Swan Queen Odette and Prince Siegfried in a tale of romance, sorcery and deceit. The second act, originally choreographed by Lev Ivanov, is historically considered the finest piece of classical choreography for the corps de ballet. The production showcases the technical precision and emotional tonality of dozens of dancers, brilliantly transformed by Robert Perdziola’s impeccable costume design and set to the timeless score by Tchaikovsky. Since 1963, Boston Ballet’s internationally acclaimed performances of classical, neo-classical and contemporary ballets, combined with a dedication to world-class dance education and community initiatives, have made the institution a leader in its field, with a 61-year history of promoting excellence and access to dance.
