Live Screening

The Royal Ballet’s spellbinding production of the timeless classic Swan Lake tells the heart-wrenching love story of Prince Siegfried and Odette, a beautiful woman bound by a spell which keeps her captive as a swan during the day. The production remains to this day one of the best-loved works in the classical ballet canon, demanding delicacy, grace and strong, virtuosic technique from the dancers that take on its central roles.

This reimagining of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov’s towering masterpiece by Liam Scarlett is testament to the late choreographer’s abiding love of classicism and innate musicality. With a sublime, haunting score by Tchaikovsky and glittering designs by John Macfarlane, this enchanting production captures Prince Siegfried and Odette’s relationship as it unravels over two acts under the malignant influence of Von Rothbart.

This performance was filmed live on 24 April 2024 and features Royal Ballet Principals Yasmine Naghdi as Odette/Odile and Matthew Ball as Prince Siegfried. Don’t miss the chance to experience this unforgettable production on the big screen.
