Oplev ballettens største klassiker, når Svanesøen indtager Operaens store scene

Svanesøen er for balletten, hvad Hamlet er for skuespillet – et must-see for alle generationer.

Værkets ekstreme popularitet skyldes tre ting: Den fantastiske fortælling om den håbløse kærlighed mellem en svane og en prins, der er som hentet ud af et H.C. Andersen-eventyr, den mesterlige koreografi, der er en overflod af bravurdans og ikke mindst Tjajkovskijs storslåede og ikoniske musik, der spiller på hele følelsesregistret.

Nok er Svanesøen snart 150 år gammel, men det er en universel historie om uopnåelig kærlighed. Den unge, søgende prins Siegfried forelsker sig i den hvide svaneprinsesse, den fortryllende og fortryllede Odette, men han lader sig også lokke af hendes sorte modsætning Odile; den ene er renhed og poesi, den anden er forførelse og fordærv. Svanesøen er det helt store passionsdrama om kampen mellem lysets og mørkets kræfter, mellem det gode og det onde.

Silja Schandorff og Nikolaj Hübbe har sat trin til det udødelige partitur, Mikki Kunttu har skabt en futuristisk lyssætning som den buldermørkeste science fictio

Experience one of ballet’s greatest classics when Swan Lake takes the stage at the Opera House 

Swan Lake is to ballet what Hamlet is to theatre – a must-see for every generation.

The ballet’s immense popularity is due to three things: The amazing tale of the impossible love between a swan and a prince, as if taken from a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale; the masterful choreography that offers an abundance of bravura dance; and not least, Tchaikovsky’s magnificent and iconic score that poignantly brings the entire emotional register into play. 

Swan Lake may be nearly 150 years old, but it remains an enduring and universal tale of doomed love. The impassioned young prince, Siegfried, falls in love with the charming and enchanted white swan princess, Odette, yet is also lured by her black-feathered opposite, Odile. One embodies purity and poetry, the other seduction and depravity. Swan Lake is an epic love drama about the struggle between the forces of light and darkness, between good and evil, love and hate.

Silja Schandorff and Nikolaj Hübbe have created the immortal steps, Mikki Kunttu the futuristic lighting inspired by the darkest depths of science fiction, and Mia Stensgaard the sumptuous costumes.
