Swan Lake - The United Ukrainian Ballet

Direct from the London Coliseum, The United Ukrainian Ballet arrive in Australia this October to perform the world’s most loved ballet, Swan Lake.

From the first immortal bars of Tchaikovsky’s score Swan Lake beckons the audience to another world in this classic tale of good triumphing over evil.

The United Ukrainian Ballet brings together award-winning dancers from Ukraine’s finest ballet houses including The National Opera of Ukraine, Kharkiv Opera Theatre, Odessa Ballet Theatre and Lviv Ballet Theatre.  Each member of the Company has their own story of how they escaped the devastating war in their homeland to reach safety and join the Company.  

Be captivated by Prince Siegfried’s love for the Swan Queen Odette, the unforgettable corps de ballet moving in magical unison, glimmering swans and spectacular ballroom scenes. This glorious tale, performed by such a remarkable company, inspires awe and wonder.

Under the artistic direction of Igone de Jonge, former prima ballerina of the Dutch National Ballet, this is a unique opportunity to see a powerful and moving interpretation of one of the greatest romantic ballets of all time with a company of world-class artists united by the tragedy of war and hope for the future. This majestic production of Swan Lake promises to be the most emotional dance production of the year.

This tour has been made possible through the generous support of a number of benefactors including the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, Amare Cultural Precinct and SENF Partners. To support Ukrainian artists and aid in the future rebuilding of Ukraine’s cultural heritage, a portion of each ticket sold on the Australian tour will be donated to The United Ukrainian Ballet Foundation.
