Swan Lake - English National Ballet - 1st December 2018 (Last chance!)
English National Ballet brings the timeless classical ballet to life in this enthralling production. Be captivated by the romance of Prince Siegfried’s love for the Swan Queen Odette, and the drama of their battle against the evil sorcerer Rothbart; and fall for the magnificent sight of ballerinas in white tutus moving in unison: one of ballet’s most iconic images. Beloved for its superb dancing, beautiful sets and Tchaikovsky’s glorious music, played live by English National Ballet Philharmonic, Derek Deane’s Swan Lake is a thrill for the dedicated fan or first-time ballet-goer.
The first December will be your last chance to see Swan Lake at the Hippodrome in Bristol, so get your tickets now!
