Classical ballet’s most powerful tale of love, treachery
and forgiveness. Bringing together Tchaikovsky’s sensational score with the
incredible imagination of choreographer Liam Scarlett and designer John
Macfarlane, Swan Lake on the big screen will be an exceptional way to
experience this ultimate ballet classic.
Prince Siegfried chances upon a flock of swans while out
hunting. When one of the swans turns into a beautiful woman, Odette, he is
enraptured. But she is under a spell that holds her captive, allowing her to
regain her human form only at night. Von Rothbart, arbiter of Odette’s curse,
tricks the Prince into declaring his love for the identical Odile and thus
breaking his vow to Odette. Doomed to remain a swan forever, Odette has but one
way to break the sorcerer’s spell.
