Peter Wright and Galina Samsova's production of Tchaikovsky's universally popular ballet, performed by The Royal Swedish Opera Ballet Company. First staged in 1877, Swan Lake continues to be the most universally popular of the classical ballets, both for its music and its story. Wright and Samsova originally created the version performed here for Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet in 1981. This version is renowned for its beauty and clear narration, with a rich choreography blending the Russian and British classical traditions.
