Artiste: Boris Gruzin

This wonderful ballet has never looked better at The Royal, especially in the remarkable performance of Natalia Osipova.

This Swan Lake is a continued homage to classical female beauty and awe-inspiring dancing. The swans' collective mourning at Siegfried’s betrayal and its consequences are palpable.

With all the right ingredients – acte blanc, love intrigue, dramatic death – La Bayadère is a classic Russian ballet.
