Classico Ballet Napoli - Swan Lake from 3 to 24 January 2024

Its first performance in St Petersburg in 1895 was a milestone in ballet history and has been revived on the world's best stages ever since - with astonishing consistency. The phenomenon of the uninterrupted popularity of "Swan Lake" and the enduring interest of audiences over the centuries can be explained by the ingenious combination of its elements.

The most famous and most frequently performed ballet piece combines everything a perfect stage show needs: the heartbreaking love story, immortally beautiful music and the dance language that tells this story with sophisticated ease.

Now the classic can be seen again in all its splendour on German stages, presented by the famous troupe from Italy, the cradle of classical ballet, the CLASSICO BALLET NAPOLI. You can admire a wonderful stage spectacle, lovingly preserved in its traditional form, but skilfully and carefully adapted with a pinch of modern choreography and contemporary forms of expression. The dancers' excellent classical ballet training is immediately apparent from the very first scene.

The romantic story about love and death is masterfully emphasised by exquisitely designed sets and costumes, flawless choreography and the ensemble's skilful use of dance skills with an Italian love of beauty. A must for every lover of ballet and culture, for all those who appreciate tradition but are also open to new artistic experiences!

The classical art of ballet in perfection!
