Russian Classical Ballet Rudolf Nureyev Russian State Ballet Academy Swan Lake Music by Peter I. Tchaikovsky

The Ballet Academy is named after legendary Nureyev, who was a star of the London Royal Ballet for over fifteen years and the permanent partner of Margot Fonteyn, the company’s prima ballerina. This duet is considered one of the best in the history of ballet.

The heritage of the greatest dancer of the 20th century, his high professionalism and self- devotion makes the Ballet Academy one of the world’s best choreographic schools.

The Premiere of Swan Lake transforms the classical ballet into a fairy-tale. Featuring a timeless score from incredible composer Tchaikovsky, Swan Lake is a certified classic, replete with evocative music and beautiful dance. The ballet has captured the imagination of many generations over the years and continues to attract audiences worldwide, full of mystery and romance.

A compelling legend of tragic romance tells story of Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil curse, and choreography that allows the very best dancers to show just how impressive they can be. Swan Lake is considered by many to be one of the greatest classical ballets of all time.
