MOSCOW City Ballet presents an enchanting double bill featuring two of the world’s best-loved ballets.

The ballet accompanied, by the Moscow City Ballet Orchestra, returns to Theatre Royal Bath from January 26 to January 31.

They will be performing two of Tchaikovsky’s stunning full-scale ballet classics, Swan Lake and The Nutcracker. The wonderful spectacle of a large cast of supremely skilled dancers, gorgeous costumes and magnificent staging combine to make a truly magical performance.

A signature piece of Moscow City Ballet’s entire repertoire, Swan Lake is one of the great romantic stories, filled with drama and exquisite choreography. When Siegfried, a dashing young prince, falls in love with Odette, the beautiful Queen of the Swans, the sorcerer Von Rothbart is determined to use his evil magic to thwart their happiness, but they would rather die together than live apart. Accompanied by Tchaikovsky’s haunting and instantly recognisable score, Swan Lake is one of the world’s most evocative and beautiful ballets.

The Nutcracker follows Clara’s fantastical Christmas Eve adventures in the beautiful Kingdom of Flowers.

Moscow City Ballet is drawn from graduates of the finest choreographic academies and schools in Russia and the Ukraine, as well as invited soloists from abroad as guest artistes. It is renowned for the perfection of its corps de ballet in the best traditions of the Russian school of classical ballet.
