Swan Lake: California Ballet Company
The quintessential ballet, Swan Lake is undoubtedly the most popular of all classical ballets. Presented in four acts, Swan Lake is the tragic tale of Odette, the beautiful Swan Queen who is imprisoned under the spell of the evil sorcerer Von Rothbart.
The ballet is the ultimate power struggle between good and evil, paired with the promise of everlasting love.
Choreographed by Thor Sutowski, the full-length Swan Lake was added to the California Ballet Company repertoire with its 1997 debut to rave reviews from critics and audiences alike.
International Guest Artists Maia Makhateli and Artur Shesterikov, both principal dancers with the Dutch Royal Ballet, join the California Ballet Company as they perform this classic ballet live on stage at San Diego’s Civic Theatre.
