Ballet’s greatest love story returns in Birmingham Royal Ballet’s lavish production of Swan Lake. This romantic fable of ill‐fated passion, powerfully illuminated by Tchaikovsky’s legendary score played live by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia, has bewitched audiences for generations.

By a moonlit lake, a grieving prince witnesses the transformation of a swan into a beautiful princess. Compelled by an evil spell to spend her days in the form of a bird, she can only be saved by the power of love.

Filled with exquisite ensembles, lyrical pas de deux and bravura solos, this Swan Lake is atmospheric, romantic and beautiful - an unforgettable experience.

First Steps: Swan Lake

This hour-long, interactive show, specially adapted for children aged 3+, features ballet excerpts from Swan Lake, performed by Birmingham Royal Ballet's amazing dancers and orchestra, interspersed with scenes in which a storyteller introduces the children to the music and the leading characters, and shares some technical magic.
