Swan Lake
Swan Lake is the world’s most famous ballet, which combines Tchaikovsky’s magnificent music with a visual world of iconic beauty. It also has a long history at the Finnish National Ballet, where it was performed as its first production a hundred years ago. David McAllister’s new version, commissioned for the centenary of the Finnish National Ballet in 2022, honours the rich tradition of the ballet.
