Royal Ballet: Swan Lake (2025)

Classical ballet's most powerful tale of love, treachery and forgiveness. Bringing together Tchaikovsky’s sensational score with the incredible imagination of choreographer Liam Scarlett and designer John Macfarlane, ‘Swan Lake’ on the big screen is an exceptional way to experience this ultimate ballet classic. Prince Siegfried (Matthew Ball) chances upon a flock of swans while out hunting. When one of the swans turns into a beautiful woman, Odette (Yasmine Naghdi), he is enraptured. But she is under a spell that holds her captive, allowing her to regain her human form only at night. Von Rothbart (Thomas Whitehead), arbiter of Odette's curse, tricks the Prince into declaring his love for the identical Odile and thus breaking his vow to Odette. Doomed to remain a swan forever, Odette has but one way to break the sorcerer's spell…
