English National Ballet To Bring Swan Lake To The Empire Theatre.

English National Ballet takes its full production of Derek Deane’s critically acclaimed Swan Lake on tour to Manchester (8th-11th October), Milton Keynes (11th-15th November), Liverpool (18th- 22nd November) and the London Coliseum (7th-18 January).

Arguably one of the most popular ballets created, Swan Lake tells the story of Prince Siegfried’s love for the Swan Queen, Odette, and their battle against the evil magician, Rothbart. This traditional production brings the romance and high drama of the Russian ballet tradition alive.

Originally produced for English National Ballet by Deane, this version premiered at the London Coliseum in 2000 and has since been seen by over 550,000 people around the U.K.
