My First Ballet - Swan Lake
A first introduction to the magical world of ballet.
Experience the thrill of the world’s most famous ballet in this specially adapted version for children aged three upwards.
The magician Rothbart has turned the princess Odette into a swan: only at night can she return to human form. Will Prince Siegfried be able to save her, or will he fall for Rothbart’s sorcery? Featuring choreography by Antonio Castilla, this version follows the familiar story from a different point of view. With a narrator to help follow the story, a shortened version of Tchaikovsky’s wonderful music, beautiful dancing by students from English National Ballet School, and all the elegant costumes you could wish for, My First Ballet: Swan Lake is the perfect introduction to the joy of live ballet.
