Ballet's Finest
Helmi Yusof
The fairy tale ballet of Odette - a swan by day, a lovely maiden by night - continues to captivate, especially when it's presented by one of the iconic companies in the world, the American Ballet Theatre. Choreographed by artistic director Kevin McKenzie, working with Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov's legendary versions, this production of Swan Lake has a different lead ballerina for each of its five shows, beginning with the world-famous Misty Copeland in the opening production, followed by Hee Seo, Gillian Murphy, Isabella Boylston and Christine Shevchenko. The Copeland show is already sold out.
Swan Lake by American Ballet Theatre plays from March 15 to 18 at the Esplanade Theatre. Tickets from S$60 to S$240 at Sistic.
