Mesmerizing audiences for over 100 years, Swan Lake is considered by many to be the greatest classical ballet of all time. Now The Washington Ballet will take on this mysterious, lyrical and dramatic ballet. The classical enchantment of Swan Lake involves the beautiful Princess Odette, a passionate prince, and the wicked sorcerer von Rothbart who captures Odette and turns her into a swan by day. The evil spell can only be broken when a young man pledges his love and marries her. Should he betray her, she will remain a swan forever. This program includes accompaniment by The Evermay Chamber Orchestra, an ensemble group presented by S&R Foundation under the patronage of Dr. Ryuji Ueno.

Music: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky performed by Evermay Chamber Orchestra
Choreography: Kirk Peterson after Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov
Conductor: Nabil Shehata
