Swansong for first time visitors



The Royal Czech Ballet will visit Australia for the first time with Swan Lake…the most loved classical ballet of them all and are heading to Rockhampton on 6 October.

This masterpiece ballet is presented in two acts and follows the original storyline with traditional choreographic revisions by Marius Pepita.

Swan Lake is the love story of Prince Siegfried who falls in love with Odette. Odette is under a spell, where she is a swan by day, who turns into a woman at night. The spell can only be broken by a man who will pledge his love forever. It is a story where the virtues of love and forgiveness in the end conquer evil and betrayal.

The Royal Czech Ballet features elite dancers from the European countries of France, Italy, Moldova and Ukraine.

When: 6 October, 7.30pm-9.30pm

Where: Pilbeam Theatre
