Beneath the surface of the story 
Swan Lake and Raymonda are among the greatest masterpieces in ballet history. In this full-length production, part of these classics and duets from the classical repertoire will be danced – together with a new ballet.   

Makarova’s Swan Lake
Dazzling white and beautiful best describe the second act of the most classical of all classical ballets: Swan Lake, choreographed to Tchaikovsky’s brilliant music. The version to be performed was created by the legendary dancer Natalia Makarova based on Petipa’s and Ivanov's original choreography from 1895. Her reconstructions of classical ballets reflect Makarova’s unique elegance and raise the stories to a new level. 

etipa’s major hit 
Marius Petipa has treated us to many of the classical ballets. His Raymonda became an audience favourite after premiering in 1898, and includes parts considered to be choreographic masterpieces. Now, Norwegian National Ballet soloist Xander Parish stages a suite from the ballet, where we get to take part in the celebration of the wedding between the countess Raymonda and her beloved knight Jean de Brienne. 
Famous duets
You will also experience several duets from the classical repertoire. The duet with the black swan from Makarova's Swan Lake holds a special position, being an iconic moment from the ballet that has been defining for the art form. 

Shakespeare's love story of Romeo and Juliet has been interpreted by a handful of great choreographers. Now it's Kaloyan Boyadjiev's turn to take hold of the balcony scene where the couple in love meet for the first time – set to Prokofiev's iconic ballet music. Boyadjiev is the choreographer behind the National Ballet's version of The Nutcracker and knows how to bring new magic to the classical idiom.
