Considering that Swan Lake's first outing in Bolshi, Moscow was given less than complimentary notices, ('neither the ballet nor its ballerina were well received'), Swan Lake has gone on to conquer the world, becoming the must-see of any company's repertoire, as the enchanting story and Tchaikovsky's sublime score blend together to create magic. Don't miss this production from the Cleveland Ballet, coming to the Connor Palace Theatre this fall!
