The world-renowned National Ballet of China, under the artistic direction of Sonia Zhao, makes its exciting debut at the Royal Opera House with Natalia Makarova’s entrancing production of Swan Lake. For generations of ballet-lovers, Makarova thrilled audiences with her legendary interpretations of Odette/Odile. Now the great ballerina has produced a ravishing new version of this timeless classic of immortal love.

Tchaikovsky’s sublimely evocative music provides the perfect showcase for the technical artistry and dramatic skills of the Company, unfolding in scenes of ecstasy and tenderness, lyricism and drama, as Prince Siegfried and the swan-princess Odette affirm their love for each other and conquer the forces of evil.
