Ballet’s Greatest Romance
A tragic love story set to Tchaikovsky’s hauntingly emotional score. When a prince meets a princess cursed to live as a swan, he vows to save her at the royal ball where he is to choose a wife. But when he is tricked by an evil sorcerer into betraying her, he dooms them both in this ethereal fairytale ballet.
