Experience one of ballet’s most famous and beloved classics when *Swan Lake*, performed by Etoile Ballet, comes to Kilden as part of a major European tour!
With music by P.I. Tchaikovsky and choreography by Marius Petipa, the performance tells the story of Prince Siegfried and the enchanted swan princess Odette. The two meet on the shore of a mysterious lake, but their love is put to the test by the evil sorcerer Rothbart.
