Swan Lake

Swan Lake at Detroit Opera House

Why see Swan Lake?

n a North American premiere, Corella Ballet will perform the magical, mysterious Swan Lake from April 27-29, 2012. The performances will mark the first time the company has performed the work outside of Spain. Called ?the world?s most beloved ballet,? Swan Lake tells of a young prince in love with a beautiful girl who is forced by a sorcerer to swim as a swan, and may only be human at night. Corella Ballet?s production, which premiered in Spain in 2008, showcases the spectacular choreography of Marius Petip? and Leiv Ivanov. Tchaikovsky?s haunting score will be performed live by the Michigan Opera Theatre Orchestra.

Founded in 2008 by principal dancer Angel Corella, who will appear at certain performances, Corella Ballet offers a wide repertoire incorporating classical, neoclassical and contemporary choreography.

The only classical ballet company in Spain, Corella Ballet works to provide professional opportunities for the country?s classical dancers to further their careers in their own country, an opportunity not available to Corella?s generation.
