Ballet Enchantment
The spell of a cruel sorcerer, a beautiful maiden turned into a swan
and a tale of the enduring power of love encompass the magic of one
of the most beloved ballets of all time. The State Ballet Theatre of
Russia invites you to enjoy Swan Lake at the Fox Cities Performing
Arts Center on Friday, January 27 at 7:30pm.
Written and composed by Pyotr Tchaikovsky in 1875, this famous
ballet has been performed and recreated around the world hundreds
of times. Under director Igor Nepomnyashchy, the State
Ballet Theatre of Russia, also known as the Voronezh State
Theatre of Opera and Ballet, will enchant you with its version
of Swan Lake and its tale of love, trickery and magic.
This is the State Ballet Theatre’s second appearance at the
Fox Cities P.A.C. since they performed the ballet Cinderella
there in 2009. Also, this is the third rendition of Swan Lake
hosted in the Fox Cities, all performed by different ballet
companies.
“Although it is only here for one night, I expect there will be
a full house and it will be a wonderful show,” says Amy
Gosz, director of programming and community engagement
at the Fox Cities P.A.C. “Whether you already love ballet or
want to be introduced to it, this is a beautiful story and a
nice evening out for anyone.”
To experience Tchaikovsky’s captivating ballet and for ticket
