Swan Lake: Long Beach Ballet’s New Production
Carpenter Performing Arts Center, CSULB (Long Beach, CA)
The Long Beach Ballet’s latest production of this all-time favorite is sure to fly high, with the addition of all new scenery and costumes. Swan Lake is the hauntingly beautiful story of young lovers Siegfried and Odette, who’s been captured by an evil sorcerer and transformed into a swan. Siegfred only has a short time to save his beloved before she’s cursed to remain a swan forever, but standing in his way is the sorcerer’s daughter, the beguiling black swan Odile, who comes to tempt and distract him away from his quest. Swan Lake, said to be based on a Russian folk tale, premiered in Moscow in 1877, and remains one of ballet’s most beloved dances.
