Ballet San Jose presents Swan Lake
Swan Lake is indisputably the crown jewel of classical ballet. Dennis Nahat's dramatic four-act setting of this masterpiece features over 135 characters with opulent costumes and scenery from David Guthrie. Performed to one of Tchaikovsky's most memorable scores, this powerful tale of love's triumph over evil follows Prince Siegried as he attempts to rescue his beloved Princess Odette from the wicked and lecherous Baron Von Rothbart, who has cast a spell on the young beauty and turned her into his Swan Queen.
Choreography by Dennis Nahat
Music by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
