Philadelphia Ballet: Swan Lake

Virginia Arts Festival

with Virginia Symphony Orchestra

This sleek company, as versatile as it is beautiful, has been transformed by its Artistic Director, Angel Corella — the legendary former American Ballet Theatre principal called “nothing short of perfect” by The New York Times. When Corella set out to stage the classic Swan Lake for Philadelphia Ballet, he brought decades of experience, and the result is a revelation, an experience that fully forms the characters of the prince, the spellbound “swans,” and the romance at the heart of the story. Add to that, vivid storytelling, “gorgeous costumes” and sets (Phindie.com) and a company of dancers drawn from the best in the ballet world, and you have an unforgettable experience, “dazzling…and lovely to behold” (Bachtrack.com).
