The Charleston Ballet and the Clay Center, will present the most popular of all the classical ballets, SWAN LAKE.
SWAN LAKE is the most enduring and well-known of all the classical works. This full-length ballet will be presented to the familiar Tchaikovsky score.
The ballet tells the story of Prince Siegfried who encounters a beautiful princess, Odette, who embodies a woman for a brief time due to a spell cast over her by the evil Von Rothbart. Only his declaration of true love will save her from the spell that keeps her a swan.
